Sharon campers have the choice to attend camp three or five days per week.
Negev: Grades 1-2
Negev campers attend Camp Centerland five days per week and are the youngest group to get to scale the rock wall!
Junior Camp is designed to instill confidence and enjoyment in campers while they start to grow independently. Days are filled with fun, friends, and wonderful activities on the fields and green space around the JCC, as well as the wooded areas of the Irving M. Shuman Campgrounds. Jewish values, tradition, ruach (spirit), Israeli culture and special guests are woven into camp days. Junior Campers may participate in Stay Lates, our special theme nights with games, swimming, activities, and a cook-out dinner. Please check our online calendar for dates.
