Open Houses

Discover where 125 summers of friendship begin.

Our Open Houses offer the perfect opportunity for families to visit our scenic 150-acre campus, meet the staff, and explore the programs that make summer at Camp Jewell unforgettable.

Why Attend an Open House?

At our summer camp Open House, you’ll get a firsthand look at everything your camper will experience: guided tours of cabins, dining hall, waterfront, and creative & sports activity areas; meet-and-greet with our year-round team; view a slideshow of our programs; and review our balanced summer menu. No reservation required — just show up and get excited about the possibilities.
