Overnight Camp

To learn more about Jewish overnight camps, click here.

The Jewish Education Council (JEC) of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle believes that a Jewish overnight camp experience is an integral part of a child’s Jewish education and recognizes that this experience plays a critical role in building Jewish continuity. The JEC is dedicated to the principle that no child should be denied the experience for financial reasons.
