Marks JCH Summer Day Camp
7802 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11214  

Our camp is 83 years old – it was one of the first programs that were instituted at Marks JCH upon building completion. And there is a good reason for that – we always believed that camp is a crucial part of child’s life. Camp is where children learn how to play soccer and paint; it is a safe environment where each child can make a friend; where growth is nurtured and development is a constant process; where identity is formed and character is built. Camp is considered to be one of the most rewarding and lasting experiences in a child’s life. That is why, every summer over 11 million children attend day and resident camps throughout North America. Join them by attending Marks JCH Day Camp this summer and discover that magic feeling that has our campers coming back year after year.

The city has experienced some revitalization during the 1990s and early 21st century.
