Whether you are joining us for the first time or as a returning camp family, the 2013 season offers enjoyment and excitement for everyone. While many favorite activities and traditional programs will return, this summer will also include new experiences for all age groups.

We are excited to announce that registration is now available online.  You may access our registration forms through our website at www.jewishknoxville.org.  If you are a returning friend of camp, you may note that a few changes have been made for the upcoming summer in order to provide the BEST quality experience possible for you and your campers.

These differences are in place to provide for the developmental needs of each age group. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to request additional information. We welcome the chance to talk with you at any time about ways to enhance your child’s camp experience.

There is no better way to spend the warm summer months than spending time with friends at our swimming pool, tennis courts and playing on our extensive grounds! We hope to see you soon!
