Rookie Days
What is Rookie Day?
A one-day program for prospective campers (entering 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grades) specifically designed to introduce them to the exciting world of summer camp. Your child will have the opportunity to meet other prospective and current Camp Ruach campers, and participate in many activities. They will be taken care of by a group of warm and caring counselors who will help make sure they have an amazing first Camp Ruach experience.
When our Rookies head to activities with their counselors, the rest of their families will tour the camp and meet with some members of our leadership team. Families can then enjoy time on their own and will come back to camp in the afternoon to meet up with their happy rookie camper!
2025 Dates: July 8 and July 22
Why attend a Rookie Day?
We believe the best way to feel the warmth and spirit of JCC Camp Ruach is to come and experience it yourself! We understand that choosing the right camp is an extremely important decision. Participating in Rookie day will allow families an ideal way to learn about the programs, facilities and, most importantly, feel the amazing atmosphere that exists at Camp Ruach.
Rookie Day Enrollment is Limited
In order to maintain a personal and quality experience, we will only be taking a limited number of prospective campers to participate in Rookie Day. There is no fee for the program. Campers will be accepted based on order of registration.
