Description

There’s something about this camp! At Camp Yachad we offer incredible summers for children ages 18 months to 14 years. “Yachad” means “together” in Hebrew and our camp is a special place where friendships transform into something more – where community comes “together” as family. Programs run on total of four sites either on or near our homebase in Scotch Plains at the JCC of Central NJ. Our dynamic staff work hard (and always with a smile) to provide a memorable, FUN and activity-filled summer.

Director

Jodi Hotra, Camp Co-Director

Jodi has spent the last 16 years working at Camp Yachad and considers the JCC her home away from home. When Jodi is not working in camp, she loves to be outside playing with her 2 adorable daughters. During camp, Jodi loves to see all of the campers smiling faces. She also loves the energy so much that she wishes she could have it all year long!

Mallory Saks Zipkin, Camp Co-Director

During the year, Mallory spends her time planning for a great summer at Camp Yachad in the hope that all the campers and staff will feel like they are at home. In total, Mallory has spent 14 summers at Camp Yachad and has met so many close friends who, are now, like family to her. Mallory, her husband Mitch and their adorable dog, Dexter live in Fanwood and love being part of the community! Mallory’s favorite part of the camp day is Boker Tov (good morning) round up that she gets to lead every morning!
