The JCC Camps at Medford Chaverim Travel program is for teens entering 7th and 8th grade who want a summer experience filled with adventure and discovery. Chaverim campers will grow in independence as they navigate new trips and locations. Both four week sessions include three weeks of daily trips and one weeklong overnight excursion. This South Jersey summer travel camp experience is one your children will never forget!
Chaverim is led by a dynamic and caring staff who help teens build a positive social experience and create lasting memories.
Summer 2021 Update: Chaverim will tentatively run in Summer 2021. All trips will be day trips aimed at keeping campers outdoors as much as possible and within the tri-state area. Chaverim is available for campers entering 7th, 8th & 9th grade. In the event Chaverim is unable to run in 2021, a final decision will be made no later than May 15, 2021. For a current travel schedule, please email Jared Kaufman, Assistant Camp Director.
Chaverim campers hop on the bus each day for a local trip to a variety of locations throughout the Tri-State Area. There’s always something for everyone! Past trips include: Great Adventure, Dorney Park, Ocean City Beach and Boardwalk, a Phillies Game at Citizens Bank Park, New York City Broadway Shows, Outdoor Laser Tag, Amazing Escape Room and much more!
Chaverim extended trips are four day, three night excursions at the end of each four week session. Campers have the opportunity to explore new and exciting places while bonding with their summer friends. Trips include hotel accommodations, entrance fees for activities, and all meals. Past trips include: Virginia Beach, Montreal, Lake George, New England, Cleveland, Washington, DC and Toronto.
Please note that in order to attend an extended trip, each camper must first attend at least one week of day trips.
