JCC-Keshet Summer 2025 Joint Statement
Keshet and JCC Camp Chi have enjoyed a long-standing partnership, spanning many decades, providing enriching day and overnight camp experiences for campers of all abilities. Over the years, both agencies have grown and evolved, embracing new leadership. As we look towards the future, both Keshet and the JCC are committed to ensuring that every camper has the best possible summer experience. To that end, a thoughtful decision has been made to take a pause on the overnight camp portion of our partnership for the upcoming 2025 camp season. This pause will allow us to carefully evaluate and align our efforts to best serve all campers. We are incredibly proud of the strong foundation we’ve built together these many years and are excited to continue our collaboration with an expanded partnership in the day camp space for Summer 2025. Our shared commitment to creating inclusive and impactful camp experiences remains as strong as ever.
