Feel the magic in the air...
On Sunday, May 31, 2026, step into an evening where the spirit of Jewish summer camp comes alive. The Campfire Gala celebrates more than eight decades of Camp Jaycee, honoring the friendships, Shabbats, and ruach (spirit) that have shaped generations of campers and staff, and created a true sense of belonging.
This year, we invite you to gather around a new kind of campfire; one that illuminates the past while inspiring the future of Camp Jaycee. Through endless summer nostalgia, heartfelt stories, and a few sparks of camp magic, we’ll celebrate the lasting impact of Jewish camp. Join us to support the programs that ensure every child can grow and thrive within a vibrant Jewish community.
