- Administrative History
- Founded in 2009, J. Academy Camp is a unique twelve-day overnight camp for children aged eight to sixteen from Russian-speaking Jewish families in the GTA. J. Academy Camp runs its summer camp program from the Camp Northland site in Halibruton, Ontario. The aim of the camp is to connect teens from Russian-speaking families, introduce them to Jewish community and culture, and help them discover their Jewish roots through engagement in various creative arts, activities, and sports. J. Academy Camp is supported by UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and Genesis Philanthropy Group.
- J. Wave began as an optional activity at J. Academy Camp and developed into a year-round project. The publication shares personal stories, adventures, and experiences written by teens. The program is hosted at the Schwartz/Reisman Centre.
