The Association of Independent Jewish Camps (AIJC) is a place for collaboration, networking, and support for independent Jewish camps. The AIJC allows independent camps to leverage the member benefits of a large association, while maintaining their autonomy and unique Jewish missions. The camps affiliated with the AIJC all have a successful inclusive, non-movement based Jewish philosophy and a pragmatic approach that uniquely positions them to reach the affiliated and unaffiliated Jewish populations. The AIJC has a distinct advantage in this space through our wide spectrum Jewish approach and the ability to leverage best practices across our member cohort. This new association of camps brings everyone into the tent and provides access to shared experiences to improve all aspects of camping including childcare, programming and Judaism. The AIJC provides many benefits for member camps and create high levels of value for the cohort. The AIJC is a source of information for member camps facilitating data collection, research regarding critical issues, benchmarking operational functions and creating partnerships with other Jewish agencies. A concierge approach ensures that camp directors and board members have access to camping professionals while director, program, operational and fundraising cohorts create platforms for best practices to be shared. Each member camp is invited to join the AIJC Board strengthening the collaborative atmosphere of the organization. The AIJC is firmly committed to development of camp staff and lay leaders to ensure the highest possible quality experience for the thousands of Jewish camp families who attend AIJC member camps.
