I always love this conference - as it is an amazing group of people sharing common beliefs and values.
- Comment from one 2018 JCamp 180 Conference attendee
Thank you to the more than 450 leaders in the field of nonprofit jewish camp who joined us in Springfield, MA this week for our Annual Conference. Staff, board members, and friends of camps and other partner organizations joined us from across North America (and beyond!) to learn and share best practices in areas that will help them better sustain their camps long-term.
To learn more about the conference, check out the Annual Conference section of our website.
What You've Told Us About this Year's Conference So Far
We appreciate feedback from our attendees after each conference. Here are a few things you've told us so far:
- My mind is exploding with ideas. I also love that everyone is there to support Jewish summer camping. We're not in competition with one another, so sharing ideas is absolutely stimulating.
- Inspiring from start to end with so many takeaways.
- JCamp 180 Conference continues to exceed my expectations and I walked away very energized. Thank you!
