J Day Camps - Chesterfield & Creve Coeur

J Day Camps offer an unforgettable summer experience for campers ages 3 to grade 7, where curiosity, confidence, and joyful exploration come to life. Rooted in the warm values and traditions of our Jewish community, our camps create simple, meaningful moments—like celebrating Shabbat or highlighting kindness—that feel natural and welcoming to families of every background and belief. Located in Chesterfield and Creve Coeur, J Day Camps offer sports, arts, swimming, theatre and more!

Under the leadership of our new Senior Director of Day Camps and Youth Services, Mark Cohen, we’re building on a strong foundation with enhanced staff training and even more thoughtfully designed experiences to ensure every camper feels supported and included.

With locations in Creve Coeur and Chesterfield, J Day Camps provide a safe, nurturing environment where every child can discover new adventures, build friendships, and shine all summer long.
