What a week it has been! ☀️

As Week 1 comes to a close at Camp JCC, campers & staff had an absolute blast!
The weather was beautiful, the energy was high, and most importantly—everyone had a great time. 🌅

Our specialty camps were a huge hit this week, with campers enjoying All-Sports, Dance, and Young Ballers Basketball. It was so much fun to see their skills grow and their excitement amplify throughout each day. 🏀⚽🩰⚾🏈

We wrapped up the week with a fun-filled Friday! Campers loved bouncing on the inflatable bounce house, and we were thrilled to welcome the Akron-Summit County Public Library’s Bookmobile, which was a big hit with all of our readers. 📚
