Send your child to Camp Wise and give them a gift that will stay with them forever. Camp Wise will help your child develop confidence, independence and positive self-esteem. We'll give your child the skills needed to make life-long friendships and learn how to face challenges and overcome them. We'll encourage them to try new activities and gain a love for nature. We'll model for them what it means to be a proud, engaged Jew. They’ll accomplish all of this while having a fun and exciting overnight camp experience!

            Camp Wise has been a second home to children for 101 summers and is proud to be the overnight camp of the Cleveland Jewish Community Center. We serve over 500 children each summer from all over Ohio and all across the country! Only 30 miles from Cleveland, we have over 30 activities including horseback riding, a climbing tower, ropes course, canoeing, swimming, archery, mountain biking, drama, hockey, and dance!

            In the words of one camp mom, “Your staff are terrific and make Camp Wise the best camp that every child should be so lucky to try!”

            We have 1,2,3,4 and 7-week options throughout the summer.
