Judaic values are the heart of all our summer
experiences, and are the thread that connects
us to one another and to each experience.
Camp at MJP
Based on the idea that children have a hundred
languages, we are prepared for a challenging,
explorative and fun summer. We offer children
an opportunity to engage in both outdoor and
indoor experiences and explorations, while each
child finds a place for his or her interests:
Our focus is on how we spend our summer days:
Art, Dance, and Music
Summer is the perfect natural landscape
for expressive languages.
Organic Gardening
All gardening preparations:
soil, seedlings, harvesting and cooking with the food we grow.
Cooking
Children will prepare delicious and nutritious
dishes to share and enjoy with their friends.
Sports
Children develop skills and learn sports, such
as basketball, hockey, T-ball and more.
Water Activities
Children experience water through an array
of creative water toys and games.
Mequon Jewish Preschool is an affiliate of Lubavitch of Wisconsin.
