JCamps

General information

The secret’s out - Camp Espana goes global. With this exciting development, Camp Espana, Europe's leading International Jewish Summer Camp, has evolved and from 2012 will be known as JCamps. Along with our established camps in Spain and England. Our name change will in no way diminish the personal and caring service on which we have built our reputation - along with good food and comfortable accommodation - and we look forward to continuing to welcome young Jewish students from all over the world.

Our Camp Directors, Brian & Patricia Geminder, each have more than 20 years of experience offering programmes and activities to Jewish youth aged 11-19 years. Students from 19 different countries come to us to meet other young Jews, to experience the time of their lives and to leave us with memories for a lifetime, having made new friends from all over the world. The students participate in exciting language, sports, arts and cultural programmes whilst spending a fantastic summer in amazing locations, where the main language of the Camp is English. Our warm and caring atmosphere makes first time campers feel as welcome as campers who have been coming to us for several years and our secure environment provides peace of mind to parents

JCamps welcomes participants from all Jewish religious and cultural backgrounds, in a warm Jewish atmosphere. Kosher food is provided at all our camps. On Friday evenings we have our special Kabbalah Shabbat service followed by a special Shabbat dinner. On Shabbat there is an optional service and at nightfall we celebrate Havdalah.
We are happy to provide testimonials from families whose children have visited us and here are just a few comments from both parents and students.
Hope to see you soon!
