Camp Raanana is the JCC's summer camp for children entering kindergarten through eighth grade.  (For younger campers, please click here to learn about Camp Keshet).  Camp Raanana is the perfect place for children to explore new interests, learn important skills, gain self-confidence, interact with other Jewish youth and have fun!

Our camp is located on its own beautiful private beach front at Independence Lake County Park.  The facility includes a large covered pavilion, a swimming beach, playground structures, and access to ball fields, volleyball courts, nature trails, a spray zone and more.  Our camp programming includes activity sessions (such as arts and crafts, nature, sports, music and Judaica), instructional swim lessons, general swim time, weekly special events or field trips, and Friday afternoon Shabbat celebrations.  We provide round trip school bus transportation from the JCC to Independence Lake and also offer morning and afternoon extended care options.
