JCC Day Camps are owned and operated by the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh and serve school aged children in kindergarten through eighth grade through experiences that focus on building connections, teaching values, fostering individual growth and having fun. The camps describe a child-centered environment that emphasizes teambuilding, developing positive values, independence and premiere programming and activities, and they are described as rich in traditions where families send their children summer after summer and generation after generation. JCC Day Camps state that they provide skill-building, innovative programming, enthusiastic and caring staff, American Red Cross based swim lessons, and camp experiences that offer acres of outrageous fun, meaningful friendships and newfound confidence that last a lifetime within an inclusive community where each camper is welcomed.
The JCC notes that it is open and accessible to everyone, regardless of age, race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or special need, and that it welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and embraces their uniqueness and diversity. Leadership contacts include James & Rachel Levinson Day Camp (J&R Day Camp) and Specialty Camps contact David May-Stein, Specialty Camps contact Brandi Tedesco, Performing Arts Camp contact Kathy Wayne, and South Hills Day Camps contact Emma Litwak.
Parent testimonials describe children enjoying the activities and swim instruction, feeling sad when camp ended, and being excited to return the next year. One J&R Day Camp parent reports that their child, who is not from a Jewish family, enjoyed learning about Jewish values and traditions and that this was a positive element of the camp experience. Another J&R parent notes that their child made new friends even in weeks when they did not know other campers and that camp songs promoted a sense of everyone belonging and an inclusive nature among staff and campers. Additional J&R parent feedback states that they trusted the leadership and counselors and felt their kids were well cared for all summer long, while a South Hills Day Camp parent describes staff as professional, responsive, happy, welcoming, energetic, and genuinely excited to be there.
