Jewish for Good - Levin JCC

by Jewish for Good
Ages 3+

Jewish for Good’s programs for children and teens at the Levin JCC offer dynamic and inclusive spaces where children can thrive. With a robust summer camp program, school’s out camps on select dates year-round, after school care and enrichment offerings, and special programming for teens and ‘tweens, children and families can find many opportunities to connect and grow. At Camp Shelanu (Hebrew for “Our Camp”), campers explore their interests, build friendships, and have fun in a supportive environment that celebrates diversity. Campers dive into visual and performing arts, sports, nature exploration, team-building challenges, leadership games, STEAM projects, and more. A highlight for many campers is the chance to swim every day, with swim lessons included for those who need them. The campus also features outdoor spaces, creative studios, and engaging classrooms that provide the perfect backdrop for both structured activities and free play. Camp Shelanu is guided by Jewish values like kindness, generosity, and community, and welcomes campers of all backgrounds. Hebrew words and traditions are woven into camp life in ways that are meaningful, accessible, and fun. Campers are encouraged to grow as individuals and community members through character-building rewards, cultural experiences, and weekly celebrations.
