Camp JORI to host open house on June 8

As Camp JORI prepares for its 87th summer, the staff is embracing the weighty responsibility of maintaining JORI’s legacy of creating positive, unforgettable experiences for campers.

This year, campers will delve into a diverse array of programs and events designed to foster lasting memories, enhance communication skills and provide a nurturing environment where kids can simply be themselves.

JORI’s unique hybrid schedule, blending traditional and specialty camping, creates a comprehensive experience that distinguishes it from other camps.

To showcase just a glimpse of what camp life is like at JORI, the community is invited to a Family Day & Open House on Saturday, June 8.

Whether you’re a proud alum, a current member of the Camp JORI family, or simply curious about the enriching experience JORI offers, you’ll experience a day filled with excitement, exploration and cherished memories of summers past.

Bring along your loved ones and friends to enjoy games, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, camaraderie, discovery and more. Meet staff members, take a tour, and gain insights into how camp fosters your child’s personal growth and development in profoundly positive ways.

Senior leadership team members will meet with families seeking information about JORI, and to help with summer registration. Delicious food will be available for purchase or you are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at the waterfront.

Camp JORI’s Family Day & Open House will take place on Saturday, June 8, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the camp, at 1065 Wordens Pond Road, South Kingstown.

Please note that registration is required for this free event and can be completed at https://givebutter.com/CJopenhouse.

Camp JORI, situated on 75 pristine acres in the South Kingstown village of Wakefield, is a co-ed Jewish overnight and day camp for children in grades K-10.
