The JCCSF Day Camp Story

JCCSF Summer Camp is a magical time. We ride rollercoasters, shine in the spotlight, hoop it up on the hardwood, concoct culinary creations and keep it cool in the pool all summer long. Our 60+ unique options are sure to delight, inspire and leave the kids buzzing with stories from their day. Our camps are for everyone – from preschoolers all the way to teenagers. We also offer a youth inclusion program for campers with disabilities and a financial assistance program so the fun is affordable for all.

Our Camp Leadership

Camp Manager | Jonathan Bortnik

Jonathan was born at a very young age in Buenos Aires, Argentina where he lived until his parents convinced the kids to move to America on the premise that it was where Mickey Mouse lived. After moving to San Francisco in 2009 and then completing his degree as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, he decided that working with children was way more exciting and a far better place to be silly. He closed his practice and joined the JCCSF team in 2016, and has since put his passion for tinkering, creativity and fun into camps for the JCCSF. When he sees campers conquering their fears, trying new things, learning new skills and making friends, it reminds him that he as the greatest job in the world. Outside of the JCCSF, you can find Jonathan running his other camp at burning man, wrenching on his motorcycle, skiing, or camping anywhere in California.

Why We Host Schlichim

"Hosting Shlichim during the summers remains a wonderful experience for our family. Each year we meet dynamic and fascinating young Israelis with whom we maintain contact long after the summer has gone. Our kids are the greatest beneficiaries of the experience, finding in the Shlichim individuals who they come to regard as older siblings. It is an event we look forward to every year with good reason and plan on continuing for years to come."

- Soberman Family, The Jack and Pat Kay Centre Camp, Prosserman JCC

Connecting with Israel

“Although it was so new, Israel brought upon me a familiar sense of belonging much like what I feel at Camp Chi every summer. The ability to be in a place where one feels so free and proud to be a Jew is a feeling that makes me so proud to be involved in my Jewish heritage.”

- Joshua Krawitz, 17, Camp Chi, JCC Chicago
