Every summer, JCC Brooklyn Camp fills our days with sunshine, laughter, and community. But some of the most meaningful moments happen when we extend that spirit beyond our own campgrounds — when we make it possible for every child to experience the joy of summer.

Across our city are parents of children who are blind or have low vision — children who dream of swimming, singing, laughing, and belonging at camp just like ours. For many of them, that dream would be impossible without your support.

That’s why, three years ago, JCC Brooklyn launched Camp for Children Who Are Blind and Have Low Vision — the only program of its kind in the tri-state area. It’s a place where every child, regardless of ability, gets to feel that same camp magic: freedom, friendship, and belonging.

Each summer, we work to make sure that finances never stand in the way — but we can only do that with your help.

This Giving Tuesday, you can turn generosity into growth:

$36 helps us buy adaptive art and sensory materials.

$118 covers transportation for one camper to attend safely and independently.

$360 sponsors one week of camp for a child who might not otherwise have this experience.

Your child already knows how special camp can be.

Now, imagine giving that feeling — that joy, that belonging, that summer freedom — to another child who’s never had it before.

That’s what your Giving Tuesday gift makes possible.

Help us keep the circle growing.

Your donation — big or small — helps fund adaptive activities, staff training, and the one-on-one support that makes camp possible for every child who needs it.
