EVERY SUMMER tells a story
2027
Making
A Splash
Summer 2026 had a sound of its own. Eight weeks of Ask Abrams interviews, weekly recap songs, and a camp full of kids finding out what they were capable of. Campers passed swim levels they were sure they would never pass, made the climb to the top of the rockwall, and lined up for the brand new water slide from the first day it opened until the last day it closed. Some summers you remember for a feeling. This one you could hear from the parking lot.
​
Color War went full Shrek, with the White Lions and Blue Rams battling it out across field games, synchro swim, tug of war, banners, and skits. And JCC Rocks, which started in 2025 as the show that took over from Camp Idol, came back as Battle of the Bunks and proved it's here to stay. Every week got its own video. Every camper got their moment. That was the whole point.








2025
65 Years
of Ruach
Summer 2025 marked our 65th summer at JCC Abrams Camps, and it truly felt special. For generations, campers have come here to build friendships, grow in confidence, and feel a real sense of belonging. This year carried that legacy forward in every cheer across the field, every swim milestone, and every moment where a camper stepped outside their comfort zone and realized they could do something new.
Color War brought big retro Nickelodeon energy and serious camp spirit, but one of the most unforgettable moments of the summer was our very first JCC Rocks performance. It was a true camper-led show from start to finish, with campers planning, performing, and owning the stage in a way that felt powerful and proud. Summer 2025 celebrated 65 years of camp while reminding us that the best moments are still being created.








2024
Welcome to Abramsland
Summer 2024 was all about Abramsland, our Candyland-inspired theme that filled camp with bright colors, sweet surprises, and nonstop energy. Campers tried new things, built confidence, and made friendships that grew stronger every day. From swim milestones to Gaga games, it was a summer full of spirit and heart.
Color War took us to infinity and beyond with a Toy Story theme that brought big creativity and even bigger teamwork. We closed the season with our 18th and final Camp Idol show, a tradition that has given campers the chance to shine for nearly two decades. It was the perfect ending to a summer we will not forget.
