New Jersey Camp Jaycee is a collaborative effort between the New Jersey Jaycees and The Arc of New Jersey, with a mission of providing quality camping experiences to persons with developmental disabilities. Camp Jaycee has been in operation since 1975, and is proud to be accredited by the American Camping Association.

The goals of Camp Jaycee are centered around developing social skills, improving self esteem, increasing confidence, learning in a fun environment, developing physical fitness, and establishing meaningful relationships with new friends. These goals are carried out by a well-trained staff, who are carefully selected to insure the utmost in safety, fun and growth for our campers.

Camp Jaycee is about people. A special group of people comprised of our campers, and a caring, dedicated and unique staff. We serve more than 500 campers with a wide array of developmental disabilities each summer, ranging in age from seven to over eighty years young. Camp Jaycee offers various activities and programs catered to the specific needs of our campers.

Camp Jaycee is located on 185 acres of forests, fields and streams located in the lovely Pocono Mountains, a short distance from the New Jersey border. The centerpiece of the camp is a beautiful 2 acre spring fed pond. A pine paneled dining hall is the hub of camp life. A modern fully staffed infirmary is located nearby. Our rustic cabins each have their own modern bathroom and shower houses are at the center of each camp. Program areas include a large recreation building with a stage, an arts & crafts building, a music building, a nature lodge and full athletic facilities. In 2006 a beautiful new pavilion was erected to provide additional outdoor activity space which is protected from the weather.
