Camp J. Through the Years

Location: Trager Family Jewish Community Center, 3600 Dutchman's Lane, Louisville (In Person Only)

Free - Registration Required

Are you an alum of Camp Tall Trees or Ben F. Washer at Otter Creek Park? Come relive those glory days of yesteryear with this fun and nostalgic program. Even if you did not attend those camps or if you did not go to any camp, we hope you will join us for a lighthearted and fun-filled afternoon. There will be camp songs and cheers, “home movies,” craft activities, and camp-based snacks such as s’mores. Hear from current and former counselors and campers to learn what has changed and what has essentially remained the same about camp over the years.
