Camp Emunah was established in 1953, with a special blessing from our Rebbe to Rabbi Yaakov Yehuda OB”M, along with his wife Rebbitzen Chave Hecht who has been serving as its director since its inception. Rabbi JJ Hecht was the first to open a girl’s overnight camp in the world of Lubavitch. The camp has been conducted on the teachings and guidance of the Rebbe since it was founded. The same grounds are still being used today and constantly being updated to fit the needs of its staff and campers. Camp Emunah quickly became one of the largest and greatest of its kind. They accepted tens of thousands of Jewish girls from all different Jewish backgrounds. They established an open door policy where everyone feels accepted.

At J&R Day Camp, located on our beautiful 100-acre wooded site in Monroeville, campers are encouraged by enthusiastic staff to explore new interests, cultivate skills and find new opportunities to engage, create and have fun. Our action-packed schedule provides a balance of group activities and special campwide programs. With sports, aquatics, outdoor adventure, arts & crafts, drama, nature and music, our campers enjoy a well-balanced, well-rounded experience in a gorgeous and safe environment.

From Portland to Lincoln City, and beyond, we welcome all, ensuring all campers have a place to call home for the summer. For many of our campers, this is a first introduction to the BB Camp experience, but on their home turf! We set out each summer to deliver an epic experience, rooted in Jewish values, in each day camp city.

At BB Day Camp we aim to ensure every child feels seen, heard, safe, and more confident than when they arrived for the day. BB Day Camp is full of activities that foster personal interests and provide an opportunity to learn new skills, take risks, and bond with new friends. We also make sure plenty of opportunities exist for choice and structure free-play. But just as important, we ensure enriching experiences and Jewish Joy for different ages, abilities, backgrounds, denominations, affiliations, and those from interfaith families.​

Every week of BB Day Camp is different and exciting, and camp activities span the gamut, from arts and crafts, sports and games, water play, cooking and baking, Hebrew, Jewish enrichment, nature, science, and dance. Additional weekly programs vary by location but may include field trips, special guests, and swimming. A magical end to each week is Shabbat. Campers get the opportunity to reflect on the week, bake their own challah, and celebrate with their friends.​
