“The New Orleans
JCC is the best summer
day camp option in New Orleans.
The diversity of activities keeps the
campers busy and engaged all day. I love
to hear what my kids did in camp at the end
of the day. Their stories are always joined with
excitement, smiles, and sometimes laughs. The
instructional swim portion is so important to
me because of my personal desire for my
children to learn how to swim at an early
age and not be afraid of the water.”
-Michelle T., CAMP PARENT
