Hello JHJC Members!
We’re thrilled to be bringing back a reimagined Spirit of the Mountains Camp this summer, taking place over two weeks: July 20–24 and July 27–31, 2026, Mon-Fri, 9 AM - 4 PM. Camp is open to students of ALL religions (bring your friends!) serving ages rising 1st Grade through rising 9th Grade.
And I am super happy to announce that our camp venue will be our very own JHJC at our new building on Cache Street in downtown Jackson!
Our camp infuses Jewish culture, traditions, and values into a wide variety of activities. Campers will craft Kiddush cups and other Shabbat accoutrements, cook and bake traditional foods, learn old and new folk dances, and explore outdoor spaces through a Jewish lens. These experiences allow students to deepen their sense of Jewish heritage and identity.
In addition, campers will enjoy plenty of outdoor activities, including hiking, classic games (such as four-square and gaga), and team-building challenges. Older students (rising 6th through 9th grade) will also have the opportunity each week to participate in an overnight experience at the Gros Ventre Campground, where they will take part in additional programming designed to strengthen connections with peers and the natural environment.
Below you will find the form to register your child/ren and a payment portal. You will notice a discounted price for current JHJC Members as well as an Early Bird discount if you register and pay before Aprl 1, 2026.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Camp Director, Matt Bisk: campdirector@jhjewishcommunity.org.
Thank you, and we wish you a wonderful New Year. We look forward to having so much fun this summer!
