Dear Families,

We are pleased to announce that the Miami Beach JCC Camp Regesh has been renamed based upon a generous gift by The Samuel Aba and Sisel Klurman Foundation. From now on Camp Regesh will be the Klurman Family Day Camp, known as Camp Klurman.

Along with the new name, Camp Klurman has been enhanced by our brand new state-of-the-art Galbut Family Miami Beach JCC on the Simkins Family Campus, located at 4221 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach, Florida 33140. The new facility allows us to expand the scope and quality of the programs offered by Camp Klurman.

Some of the additions include a beautiful new pool for swim lessons, a field for outdoor sports activities, a full indoor gym, a gymnastics center, an art room, and much more!

The MBJCC is offering a Pre-K program this year as part of Camp Klurman, allowing Camp Klurman to serve children from Pre-K through 9th grade. MBJCC’s partner, Lehrman Community Day School, will run Camp Lehrman, which is a separate camp that will serve children two years through kindergarten. We will offer transportation between the MBJCC and Lehrman to make sure that parents have one stop drop off opportunities.

We look forward to serving you this coming summer at Camp Klurman.

With regards,

Jay RothExecutive Director
