JCC Camp Ruach is more than just a nine-week summer camp—it’s a place where families stay connected all year. Along with its exciting summer camp, the Bridgewater JCC offers family programs and enrichment opportunities, with Camp Ruach welcoming kids from age 3 through rising ninth graders. Campers through third grade receive daily swim lessons, and all campers enjoy free swim daily. JCC Camp Ruach offers a robust art program, including pottery, ceramics and woodworking and a comprehensive athletics program. Beginning in fourth grade, day trips to beaches, amusement parks, boat cruises and more are available.
Color war, camp-wide challah bakes and entertainment are among the other activities. One of the highlights of each summer is the camp musical – a beloved tradition! “We take great pride in creating a camp program that focuses on both individual growth and fosters a strong sense of community and togetherness” says JCC Camp Ruach Director Alanna Steinberg.
For older campers, Road Rulz is a teen travel program that includes daily trips as well as two weeklong trips to Cleveland/ Pittsburgh and Virginia Beach, and two one-night overnights. The LIT (Leaders in Training) program helps grow leadership skills in eighth and ninth graders. The camp’s Inclusion Program provides custom support for campers with disabilities.
“At the end of each summer, we ask families to share what impact they feel camp had on their children-and increased independent, social skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging are at the top of the list,” Steinberg says. “We believe every camper should have the opportunity to experience the power and magic of camp.”
