We believe every day at camp is packed with excitement, but our special events take the experience to a whole new level! Campers will enjoy: 💙 Mitzvah Mondays – We kick off the week with acts of kindness and community. Campers take part in projects and activities that inspire giving back and learning about mitzvot (good deeds), starting the week with a positive impact. (Start saving those can tabs for Ronald McDonald House now!) 🎭 Wacky Wednesdays – Midweek fun gets a playful twist! Campers come dressed in silly costumes, take part in wacky games, and embrace creativity and laughter with unexpected challenges and surprises. 🎉 Friday Fests – We end each week with a camp-wide celebration! Campers enjoy themed activities, games, shows, and special events, creating the perfect way to wrap up the week and gear up for another amazing one ahead.

🎤 Camp Idol – A fully realized, camp-wide production where every camper plays a role in bringing a story to life! From day one, campers work together to: 🩰 Learn choreography 🎭 Craft costumes & build props 📝 Write scripts & design sets As the summer progresses, campers prepare for their big on-stage debut in a professional-style performance. Parents are invited to witness the grand production at the end of the summer. Lights, camera, action!

At the end of the summer, we have a camp-wide production where every camper plays a role, whether performing on stage, helping with set design, choreography, costumes, or behind-the-scenes production. While we encourage participation, every camper can find a way to be involved that matches their comfort level.

A beloved JCC Abrams Camps tradition since 1960, Color War is the ultimate test of team spirit and camp pride. Campers are divided into two legendary teams—the White Lions and the Blue Rams—competing in athletic challenges, creative performances, and team-building activities. While the competition is fierce, the event always ends with the entire camp coming together, celebrating the unity and tradition that make Color War unforgettable.

Our day campers (Pre-K through 5th grade) enjoy a full schedule of exciting activities on-site at JCC Abrams Camps. While they don’t go on off-site trips, they experience tons of special events, theme days, and camp-wide celebrations right here at camp. As campers grow with us, they’ll get to look forward to our amazing travel program as they enter older divisions!
