My children attended the CJF Summer Camp when it was the DYA Summer Camp back in 2014, and I can honestly say that the impact it had on them continues to resonate today. At the time, my kids were 10 and 13, and I was looking for a program that could offer more than just fun activities. CJF didn’t just meet my expectations—it exceeded them!
The camp was a perfect mix of educational and recreational experiences, giving my kids the chance to explore their interests in art, sports, and even tech, all while making lifelong friendships. The mentorship they received was invaluable, and I saw their confidence grow throughout the summer. They still talk about their “Water Wednesdays” and “Fun Fridays” with so much enthusiasm.
Now, in 2025, my kids are thriving in high school, and I truly believe their time at CJF helped shape who they are today. It wasn’t just about summer fun; it was about building character, resilience, and curiosity. Thank you, CJF, for offering such a meaningful experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking to give their child a summer that goes beyond the ordinary!”

Here’s a closer look at some of the incredible activities your child can enjoy:
A “Typical Week” at CJF Summer Camp:
Monday – Getting into the Groove:
Each week kicks off with a fun-filled day designed to ease campers into the week ahead. Activities range from sports like field hockey to creative projects like painting or cooking. Campers have the chance to dive into new adventures, whether that means trying their hand at Tae Kwon Do, performing in a circus workshop, or starting a new art project.
Spirit Tuesdays – Let the Fun Begin:
Tuesdays are all about unleashing your inner wild side! It’s Spirit Day, where campers and staff don their zaniest outfits, from mismatched shoes to hilarious hats and everything in between. It’s a day full of laughter, creativity, and team spirit that fosters a sense of community.
Water Wednesdays – Splashing Good Fun:
Hump day means it’s time to cool off! Our Water Day is packed with slip-n-slides, water balloons, super soakers, and giant inflatable water slides. Campers dive into the fun and let loose with water games and cool treats like popsicles to keep everyone refreshed.
Shake It Up Thursdays – Let’s Get Creative:
Thursdays are dedicated to exploring the arts in all its forms! Whether it’s dancing, music, theater, or hands-on crafts, campers get the opportunity to unleash their creativity. They’ll enjoy painting, learning a new instrument, or even participating in an improv class, all in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Fun Fridays – Themed Extravaganza:
Fridays are for celebrating the week’s accomplishments with a themed event that everyone looks forward to. From pajama parties to country hoedowns, each Fun Friday features a unique theme that encourages teamwork, laughter, and fun. Whether it’s a mystery day or a carnival, Friday wraps up the week with a bang.
Skill-building Activities:
Beyond the daily themes, we provide campers with a variety of activities that expand their minds and bodies. Whether it’s leadership development through teambuilding exercises, mindfulness through yoga, or STEM activities like video game design or robotics, there’s something for every child. Campers can engage in fitness with sports like basketball, soccer, and kickball, or dive into creative projects like filmmaking, fashion design, and even Lego labs. The opportunities for growth are endless!
Group Projects and Teamwork:
One of the most rewarding aspects of CJF Summer Camp is our group projects. These projects, which span the entire week, culminate in a spectacular Friday showcase. Whether it’s designing a fashion collection, putting together a theater performance, or completing a community service project, campers learn the value of teamwork, responsibility, and dedication.
Field Trips and Outdoor Adventures:
No camp experience is complete without exploring the great outdoors! Campers will enjoy exciting field trips, beach days, and overnight adventures that allow them to bond with peers and engage with the natural world. These experiences encourage personal growth, environmental stewardship, and, of course, lots of fun!
Beyond the Activities:
At CJF Summer Camp, we know that camp is more than just fun and games. It’s about building resilience, fostering self-confidence, and learning new skills that will serve campers well beyond the summer.

Summer is the perfect time for kids to break free from the routine of school and dive into experiences that inspire, challenge, and transform them. At CJF Summer Camp, we believe every child has incredible potential waiting to be unlocked, and our camp is designed to provide the perfect environment for that growth. Our unique approach blends fun, creativity, and personal development, ensuring that your child’s summer isn’t just about passing time—it’s about setting them up for a future full of possibilities.
CJF Summer Camp offers a wide range of activities that engage children’s minds and bodies, providing them with opportunities to discover new talents, explore their interests, and build lifelong skills. Whether your child is an aspiring artist, an athlete, a scientist, or an adventurer, our camp caters to all types of kids and encourages them to push their boundaries, try new things, and step outside of their comfort zones. Every child has something special to offer, and we’re here to help them realize just how amazing they truly are.
At CJF Summer Camp, we understand that summer is about more than just hard work and learning—it’s about having fun, making memories, and enjoying the freedom that comes with being a kid. From exciting water days with huge water slides and splash pools to team games, talent shows, and arts workshops, there’s never a dull moment at our camp. We combine structured activities with plenty of unstructured playtime, allowing kids to get creative, develop new friendships, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Kids thrive when they are having fun, and fun is at the core of everything we do. Our campers can look forward to daily adventures, from playing sports to exploring the arts, and engaging in team-building activities that not only help them develop skills but also provide plenty of opportunities to laugh and bond with others. Our wide variety of activities means that there’s always something exciting for every camper, whether they’re into sports, theater, arts, or nature exploration.
At CJF Summer Camp, we know that one of the best parts of camp is the friendships that are formed. For many kids, camp is a place where they meet lifelong friends, connect with others who share their interests, and find a sense of belonging. In a welcoming and supportive environment, campers feel encouraged to be themselves and make new connections, whether through group projects, outdoor activities, or casual conversations during downtime.
The sense of camaraderie and teamwork at camp is truly special. Our campers work together on group projects, learn new sports, and take part in arts and crafts—building friendships along the way. These connections help develop important social skills, including collaboration, empathy, and communication. Through shared experiences, kids form bonds that can last well beyond the summer.
We understand that a child’s summer experience is a critical time for personal growth, and that’s why we place a strong emphasis on helping each camper build confidence in themselves and their abilities. Whether it’s conquering a fear of performing on stage, trying a new sport for the first time, or completing a creative project, every success, big or small, contributes to a camper’s sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.
Our camp is about more than just teaching specific skills—it’s about developing the mindset and emotional resilience necessary to overcome challenges and face the world with confidence. With the support and encouragement of our mentors and counselors, kids learn that they are capable of more than they thought possible. Our campers leave with a stronger sense of self, greater independence, and a deeper belief in their own potential.
One of the key ways we unleash your child’s potential is by encouraging them to think creatively and explore new interests. We provide a variety of arts and creative activities where children can express themselves, including painting, music, dance, theater, and more. These activities allow children to tap into their imagination, experiment with new ideas, and build skills that will serve them in any future endeavor, whether it’s in school or later in life.
But creativity isn’t limited to the arts! Our camp is also packed with activities that encourage creative problem-solving and hands-on learning. Whether it’s through science experiments, group challenges, or design projects, kids are encouraged to think critically and come up with innovative solutions. This sense of creativity and exploration builds a sense of curiosity that drives learning long after the summer ends.
CJF Summer Camp goes beyond typical summer fun by incorporating life skills that will help children succeed in the future. From leadership to teamwork, perseverance to self-discipline, our program is designed to equip children with the tools they need to thrive in today’s fast-paced world. The activities at camp challenge kids to communicate effectively, work with others, and problem-solve in creative ways. These skills are essential for success in school, at home, and in the community.
We also emphasize the importance of emotional resilience. At camp, children are given the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, face new challenges, and deal with setbacks in a supportive and safe environment. This helps build a mindset of perseverance, teaching kids how to overcome obstacles and keep trying, even when things get tough.
We believe that every summer should be an unforgettable experience that kids can look back on with fondness and pride. At CJF Summer Camp, we create an environment where your child can thrive—where they can learn, grow, and have fun, all while building lifelong memories and friendships. From creative arts to outdoor adventures, our summer camp offers the perfect balance of excitement, education, and personal development.
