Israeli Shlichot

Hachnasat Orchim (welcoming the stranger) is a core Jewish value. In the spirit of Hachnasat Orchim, Camp JCC is excited to welcome two shlichot, Israeli counselors, to work as specialists each summer. Throughout the summer, these counselors teach our campers the history and culture of Israel through stories, games, songs, dance, music and crafts. Camp JCC is looking for families to host one of these counselors for 3 week intervals between June 6 - August 16.
