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.

Newark was granted a Royal Charter on April 27, 1713, and was incorporated as one of New Jersey's initial 104 townships by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. During its time as a township, portions were taken to form Springfield Township , Caldwell Township , Orange Township , Bloomfield Township and Clinton Township . Newark was reincorporated as a city on April 11, 1836, replacing Newark Township, based on the results of a referendum passed on March 18, 1836.
