JCC Camps General Informatioin
Facilities
Noah’s Ark, Tennis and CSA campers at the Ben & Esther Rosenbloom JCC in Owings Mills, MD, enjoy programs in our outdoor pools, playgrounds, air-conditioned gymnasiums and more.
The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg JCC, located on Park Heights Avenue in Baltimore, is home to Camp Keshet. Here young campers utilize the center’s state-of-the art early childhood classrooms and playgrounds along with the JCC’s pools and air-conditioned gymnasium.
Camp Milldale, located in Reisterstown, MD, has athletic fields for soccer, baseball, kickball and softball; courts for playing basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, and "Ga Ga;" a sprayground for keeping cool, a large playground, a loake for canoeing, shaded structures for arts & crafts, dnancing, music; and so much more! Milldale has three pools: one Olympic-sized pool and two large shallow instructional pools, one with a water slide. Campers develop an appreciation for the "great outdoors" at the Kayam Farm, on nature hikes, and on our own team-building Ropes Challenge Course with a 300-foot long zip line. On especially hot or rainy days, camp programming is held inside our two air-conditioned facilites: the Big Max or the Hess House. Arts Camp, housed on the lower level of the Big Max, enjoys the comfort of an indoor cooling system all day long.
Transportation (Camp Milldale)
Neighborhood Bus
Camp Milldale fees include bus service. Depending on where you live and the number of campers in your area, your child will either be picked up at your door as close to your house as possible or at centralized bus stops. Every bus has a counselor to provide supervision and to monitor the bus routes. Camp applications received after April 1 will be assigned the closest existing bus stop. Bus pick-up times may be as early as 8:00am or as late as 9:10 am depending on your location.
Express Bus Service
Express bus service from the Park Heights JCC, Owings Mills JCC, and ChizukAmuno is available for your convenience. This non-stop direct ride cuts your camper’s time on the bus in half. You will not be charged for Early Drop-Off orLate-Stay if you drop-off and pick-up at the designated times.
Safety
In addition to our numerous staff at all of our camps who are trained in CPR, AED and first aid, we also have full-time registered nurses on staff at Owings Mills and Camp Milldale; as well as full-time licensed social workers. We conduct background checks on all staff. We also maintain an excellent staff-to-camper ratio.
Early Drop-Off and Late-Stay
We provide supervised Early Drop-Off and Late-Stay options in our camp programs, for an additional fee. For Camp Milldale, Tennis and CSA camps, drop off is as early as 7:30am and pick up is as late as 6:00pm. Noah's Ark and Keshet camps offer 7:00am drop off and pick up by 4:00pm. These programs fill quickly and spaces are limited.
