About Camp Centerland (JCCA) in Amherst, NY

At Camp Centerland, your child will have a summer to remember! From kindergarten to 10th grade, kids will enjoy making lifelong friendships and discovering their inner strength. Our camp focuses on three core values — Chesed, Kehillah, and Tikkun Olam — to teach children the importance of being kind, building community, and making a positive impact in the world. We also understand that a great summer camp experience includes lots of fun too! Swimming, popsicles, and singing camp songs will be some of the highlights of your child’s summer. At Camp Centerland, we believe that every child should have the chance to make wonderful memories while discovering their own individual strengths. Our goal is to provide an environment where children can learn the values of Chesed, Kehillah, and Tikkun Olam through meaningful activities and experiences. Plus, when it’s all said and done, your child will have plenty of time to cool off in the pool and have a few popsicles with friends while singing some of their favorite camp songs. Make this summer one to remember at Camp Centerland!
