For middle and high school students, the JCC’s Teen Department provides programs and events for grades 6–12 that encourage teens to explore their interests and build connections. Opportunities include BBYO, our Teen Fit fitness education program, safety courses like Safe Sitter and Safe @ Home, and participation in the international JCC Maccabi Games, where Jewish teens from around the world compete and connect through sports.
*Due to a Louisiana law – ACT 409 of 2025 (Charlie’s Law), which governs how early childhood programs are regulated – a camp may only serve children ages five and older. Unless this law is amended, we will not be able to accept any children who have not turned 5 by the start of our mini camps.
For questions, concerns, or to share any exciting ideas, please contact Amanda Taylor, Senior Director of Youth and Teen.
