Camp Overview
Camp Wise provides a friendly, supportive, and cooperative atmosphere that fosters individual growth at each camper’s own pace. Campers are encouraged to learn new skills and master old ones, to make decisions, to take responsibility, to be expressive, to live with others, and to have fun. Complemented by our Jewish environment, campers develop a deeper understanding of and appreciation for Jewish heritage and traditions while also developing a true sense of community. Camp Wise is committed to making sure that every camper leaves with a greater sense of self-esteem and self-confidence; and with memories that will last for a lifetime. Camp Wise is a Jewish Community Center residential camp. Our campers hail from our own backyard in Northeast Ohio to as far away as Florida, California, and even Hong Kong and Israel. We serve over 600 campers each summer and hire 160 staff members.
