About Camp Jaycee

Camp Jaycee is a residential summer camp for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.


Each season, our campers dive into a full schedule of games, sports, swimming, arts, music, and outdoor adventures — all led by caring, highly trained staff who make sure everyone feels included and supported.


Located on 185 acres in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, our camp blends wide-open nature with modern comfort. Campers enjoy a spring-fed pond, athletic fields, accessible cabins, a recreation hall, and creative spaces for arts, music, and movement. Every moment is built for joy, safety, and belonging.



What makes Camp Jaycee special isn’t just the activities — it’s the spirit. It’s the laughter at lunch, the friendships that last all year, and the confidence that grows with every challenge met and goal achieved.


Our administrative office is in North Brunswick, New Jersey, and we proudly welcome campers from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York each summer.

Our Mission

New Jersey Camp Jaycee was created through a partnership between the New Jersey Jaycees and The Arc of New Jersey, with a shared mission to provide exceptional summer camp experiences for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.


Since 1975, Camp Jaycee has been a place where every camper can grow, explore, and belong — proudly accredited by the American Camp Association for meeting the highest standards of care and program quality.
