Where Every Camper Belongs
An inclusive summer camp in the woods where fun, friendship, and confidence grow every day.

✤ What We Do
Adventure. Friendship. Pure Camp Joy.
At Camp Jaycee, every day is packed with fun, purpose, and discovery.
Our highly trained counselors lead campers through a blend of sports, arts, and outdoor experiences tailored for all ability levels.
A typical day includes:
- Morning adventures: soccer, dodgeball, or creative crafts
- Afternoon excitement: swimming, paddle-boating, or dance
