Camp at the J, run by the Mayerson JCC, is an outdoor Jewish day camp in Cincinnati for children in grades K-10. The full-day program (9 a.m.-4 p.m., with extended morning and afternoon care) offers archery, arts and crafts, sports and drama, with values-based learning rooted in respect, kindness and community. A youth mental-health clinician is on site and staff provide 1:1 inclusion support for campers who need it; camp enrolls by the week.

★★★★★ion puschilaThis place is amazing. The facilities, the staff, and the members are all outstanding. The fees are more than reasonable for the value. There is no reason not to consider the J before any other gym you might think to look into.
★★★★★Linda LeslieNice facilities. Could use some more variety of weight machines but love the indoor track and pool. Looking forward to summer at the outdoor pool
★★★★★Ivy BGreat facilities to work out, swim and relax. Nice place to meet new friends and enjoy yourself. Things to do for all ages.
★★★★★Ken GibsonMaybe one of the best kept secrets in Cincinnati. This place is truly a community center with outdoor and indoor pools (including a lazy river), elevated indoor walking track, gymnasium, fitness room, spa service, programming from toddlers to seniors, and even a small food court with Starbucks to Matzah ball soup. Membership fee seems reasonable. What's stopping me?
★★★★★Eric ElfnerToday, I returned to the JCC for the first time after dropping my membership 15+ years ago (when I had little kids). What a fantastic surprise! The place is still beautiful and extremely nice. While the fitness area is not super large, it has very nice well cared for equipment, and they have even expanded their number Expresso exercise bikes that I loved using back in the day. Part of my motivation for joining was to check out the good selection of group fitness classes. Also, now that I'm a bit older, I may check into some of the more community oriented benefits, or perhaps even try lap swimming again. Did I mention, they still include towel services!
