In response, one of my fellow Commissioners, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, noted that the work of this Commission was a sacred duty to the memory of both victims and survivors of the Holocaust. One year on, having concluded its work in presenting this report, I believe that the Commission has fulfilled that duty and has provided a set of recommendations which will give effect to an appropriate and compelling memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and to all of those who were persecuted by the Nazis.

The eighth annual Census was conducted by the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC), in partnership with JCamp180, Jewish Community Center Association (JCCA), Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), National Ramah Commission (Ramah), and Association for Independent Jewish Camps (AIJC). This report focuses on some key measures of overnight Jewish summer camps: the campers and enrollment patterns, revenues, expenditures and more. It differentiates among camps of varying size by numbers of campers and budget, as well as denominations, movements and regions of North America. On occasion, the text below refers to comparisons with previous censuses, implemented and reported on by JData through 2015, and conducted by Prof. Steven M. Cohen in 2016. Generally, where we could reliably estimate over-time change from previously published findings to the 2017 data set, the estimated changes were small and incremental. Out of concern for some challenges to comparability between the 2017 and earlier Census reports, and recognizing the very small changes that are readily visible, this text focuses both upon the most notable findings from 2017, drawing only occasional comparisons with the prior Census reports (particularly last year, summer 2016). This report refers to camping “Movements.” On the Census questionnaire, camps reported their movement affiliations. Throughout this report, we have combined a few of the responses, in part, to increase the sample size in a few categories.
