Camp Jamison believes that a summer camp experience has the power to change lives! They believe every child should experience sleeping in a cabin, hiking through the woods, and roasting marshmallows with friends. Since opening in 2011, that is why they’ve offered a comprehensive, one-week overnight summer camp experience to all Philadelphia area children.

Their mission at Camp Jamison is to offer a diverse, inclusive, and, most importantly, affordable program! For kids growing up in a city with so many challenges, Camp Jamison offers a much-needed escape and reset – a fun, relaxing, and reflective week full of activities designed to strengthen children’s interpersonal and peace-building skills to empower them to become community leaders back home, in their Philly neighborhoods.
