2025 JCamp 180 Conference
ABOUT THE EVENT
Kadima | Let’s Go Forward!
We are excited to see you at the JCamp 180 Conference at the Marriott Springfield Downtown from
October 20-22, 2025!
As we move forward, 25 years into the new century, how do we ensure the long-term sustainability and vitality of Jewish camps for the next 25 years and beyond?
How can we tap into our innovative ideas to respond to a rapidly changing world? And how can camps prepare today to navigate the challenges of tomorrow? This conference will explore how innovation and resilience can strengthen your organizational development–and the people and funding needed to bring these ideas to life.
Join us in Springfield as we celebrate a quarter century and chart our path forward for Jewish camp, for today, tomorrow, and forever.
Registration is free for all attendees.

Representatives from JCamp 180 affiliated overnight and day camps and grantees are expected to attend. Donors and stakeholder organizations that support camps are also welcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Timely workshops, deep dives, inspiring keynotes and networking. We work to develop content for many audiences: new board members, first-time conference attendees, as well as experienced board members and staff.
