The Alper JCC Miami, whose mission is to provide a source of enrichment, inspiration, education and recreation to South Miami-Dade County, has announced their Camp J kickoff event which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 5 from 2-5 p.m. The event will be at the Alper JCC Miami outside courtyard, and feature bounce houses, STEM and art activities, sports games, Habimah performing arts showcase and Tu B’Shevat station. Camp apparel, food and treats from Kona Ice will be available for purchase.
“Camp kickoff gets me ecstatic the start of camp,” said Camp and Youth Director Amanda Golzbein. “This will be my first year as the camp and youth director and I can’t wait to give the children the best summer ever.”
Camp J is a 7-week program, beginning June 19 and ending August 4. For ages 6 weeks through pre-K, campers will enjoy a wide variety of activities led by experienced staff and engage in developmentally appropriate activities throughout the summer including art, music, outdoor games and more.
Campers in kindergarten through 10th grade will be provided with an environment that offers a more traditional day camp experience. The programs include Kadima, Sabra, Bonim and Halutzim (K-3rd grades), Tsofim and Rishonim (4th-8th grades), Tikvah special needs camp, and a counselor in training program (9th and 10th grades). The specialty camps include the Habimah performing arts camp and most notably, sports camp, which has not taken place since before the pandemic.
