What families say

“Our kids have gone to Jefunira for a few years, and they can’t wait to go back every year. They run a great program, and it’s different for every session, so the kids don’t get bored. The program is always safe, but for a day camp they try a lot of new things from sports to acting out skits.” — Michelle

“Jefunira Camp is about your kid being a kid. Good old-fashioned fun, and lots of it! I have always been very impressed with the counselors at Jefunira. They truly care about the kids and take steps to make sure that everyone is having a good time. Summer is the time to have fun, and Jefunira is where it happens.” — Aly

“If JEFUNIRA CAMP could have a dictionary definition, it would mean THE MOST FUN, HAPPY TIMES AND SPECIAL SUMMER MEMORIES! My sons have both loved the wonderful staff and love returning to JEFUNIRA summer after summer.” — Amy
