The Asheville Jewish Community Center runs Camp Ruach, a Jewish day camp for rising first through ninth graders with swimming, sports, arts and crafts, gardening, dance, music and off-site field trips. Weekly sessions run June through August, a teen Leaders-in-Training track is offered, and Camp Tikvah serves children on the autism spectrum. Camp is open to children of all backgrounds.

★★★★★John MorganWonderful facilities and friendly staff.
★Samuel EdwardsI live on hillside street and the people attending events at the JCC constantly steal our street parking almost everyday of the week. I have seen cars blocking driveways up and down the street many times, tonight included. Maybe tell your members to park at the giant gravel lot by the swimming pool that’s always empty instead of stealing your neighbors spots (that we all pay for), or maybe let us neighbors know when you have events and the street parking may be a little crowded. This current system does not work for those of us who live on this street and park in these spots daily.
★★★★★AndrewLove attending Beat Church here - I feel grateful to the JCC for providing such a sweet dance space. The building requires visitors to sign in and get scanned in twice by the front door employee. I resented this added logistic at first, but now I honestly kind of like it. It provides a nice feeling of safety, community, and ritual and the employees are consistently sweet and wonderful.
★★★★★Carol WenomAsheville’s JCC is a warm and welcoming place for everyone of all ages across the entire WNC community! They promote Jewish values, ethics, and practices and embody these values in all of their programs and services. Their award-winning early childhood education program is amazing, as is all of their programming for youth and adults of all ages. My entire family has loved the Asheville JCC for the 12+ years we have lived in the area. Come and experience this amazing place where magic happens every day ❤️
★★★★★Madison McCollianBeautiful venue space. Very welcoming center with friendly staff. The walls were beautifully decorated with decor and reflections of personal experiences and memorabilia. I came here for a presentation on addiction and recovery using the Torah by Rabbi Chaim Tureff and it was very well thought out and catered by Famers Daughter Catering in Asheville. Beautiful performance and lovely event space. Wheelchair accessible and plenty of parking spaces.
