40+ years of camp fun for kids of all ages! At the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia (JCCNV), our camps are filled with opportunities for campers to play, explore and experience all that camp has to offer in an environment based on Jewish values and culture. Our camp program, open to all, includes indoor and outdoor activities, singing, dancing, sports activities, swim lessons, field trips and more!

Our preschool camp, which includes full- and part-time camping experiences, provides lots of stimulating, hands-on, sensory and developmentally appropriate camp activities for our youngest campers. They will play and explore through music, art, games, swim time, playground activities, and much more! Journey with us on fun-filled adventures as we make new friends and create memories that will last a lifetime.
