Camping -- Serving over 3,100 participants, MJCCA summer camping programs connect youth to the Jewish community and their Jewish identity while providing safe, fun recreational and learning opportunities. The ACA-accredited MJCCA summer day camp program creates exciting experiences for children and teens to explore and try new things, build self-esteem, and make lasting memories. The MJCCA's summer day camp program is one of the largest and most well-respected day camping programs in metropolitan Atlanta, providing over 100 camping options. Camp Barney Medintz, the MJCCA's overnight camp, fosters a 24/7 Jewish environment where youth develop independence, resiliency, and responsibility, as well as lifelong friendships and strong connections to the Jewish community. Located in the North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains on 530 acres surrounding two lakes, Camp Barney Medintz offers a dynamic mountain facility with exceptional staff, exhilarating programs, and meaningful and exciting culturally Jewish experiences. All MJCCA camp locations offer inclusive programs so that children with special needs can participate in camp activities with their typically-developing peers.

Children & Youth -- Serving over 11,000 participants, MJCCA children and youth programs enrich the lives of the next generation by providing a safe and warm environment that inspires healthy lifestyles, the desire to learn, and connections to the community. MJCCA preschools create safe, nurturing environments for children to learn, grow, and develop needed skills for kindergarten readiness. The MJCCA offers three preschool locations: The Weinstein School in Dunwoody, The Sunshine School in Marietta, and The Schiff School in Sandy Springs. MJCCA preschools are accredited by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), a distinction awarded only to the top 7% of preschools nationwide, the GAC (Georgia Accrediting Commission) and/or SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). They offer half-day and full-day programs; and serve students with special needs and developmental delays in an inclusive environment. The MJCCA's Club J after-school program provides a flexible, safe after-school care option filled with extensive activities for fun and learning in a Jewish environment. The MJCCA BBYO & Teens Department provides a way for Jewish teens to connect, share, and grow with each other, creating a lifelong social network and strengthening commitments to Jewish identity. With one of the largest teen departments in the North American JCC movement, the MJCCA offers Atlanta BBYO (the largest Jewish youth group in Atlanta) as well as a variety of teen classes and other activities. Additional youth programs such as playgroups, family events, Shabbat and holiday programs, KidZone on-site babysitting services, and sports classes and leagues are also held monthly.
