Camp Daleville PhilosophyOur goal at JCC Camp Daleville is to give your child(ren) the best summer camp experience possible. We encourage them to learn inter-personal skills & achieve personal growth. We foster a sense of independence in your children, a stronger ego and a greater self-esteem. We enrich their lives by instilling positive values and building life skills in a fun, safe environment while creating lasting friendships and memories!

It is our policy to provide services to the entire community on a non-sectarian basis, while still offering an environment for our Jewish children to relate to, and identify with their heritage. Our mature and caring staff is highly trained and motivated to provide the most positive, impactful camping experience for your child.

Our staff teaches our campers to become aware and sensitive to the needs of other campers.
