Summer Camp 2021: In Pictures
S U MMER CAMP
ANDY GOTLIEB | JE MANAGING EDITOR
THE LONGTIME AREA Jewish ritual known as summer camp is winding
down, as the opening of schools beckons.
After a 2020 summer camp season that was canceled or heavily modified,
2021 offered a return to relatively normalcy. Although some restrictions and
modifications remained, kids were largely able to enjoy many of the same
JCC Camps at Medford
traditions their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents experienced.
Included on these pages is a selection of photographs of kids at play provided
by some of the area camps.
This photo essay was made possible by a grant from the Irving Felgoise
Memorial Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia. The
fund was established by the family of the late Irving Felgoise, a printer, in
honor of his longtime association with the newspaper field and the Jewish
Federation. For more camp photos, visit www.JewishExponent.com. l
