DJ Horton has been the Director of the Camp & Children's program for over a decade. Thousands of families throughout Savannah know DJ for his leadership, guidance and love of children. Perhaps the greatest compliment to DJ is that dozens of former campers are now Team Leaders and Counselors.
The Children and Camp Departments run year-round at the JEA, and are here for all of your childcare needs! Our programs include: Before and After School Care, Days at the J, Kids’ Night Out and JEA Camp Savannah.
All of our programs strive to provide children with nurturing experiences that will help promote social, emotional and intellectual development. Our diverse programs teach universal values that encourage children to explore aspects of Jewish traditions while remaining culturally sensitive to others. We provide a positive atmosphere that is fundamentally focused on creating lasting and positive relationships.
