General Inquiries and Fundraising:
At Camp Jamison, we firmly believe in the transformative power of the summer camp experience. We are dedicated to making this experience accessible to every child, ensuring they have the opportunity to sleep in rustic cabins, explore the enchanting woods, and create lasting memories around the campfire with friends. Since our establishment in 2011, we have remained committed to providing an immersive one-week overnight summer camp adventure to children from the Philadelphia area.
Our mission at Camp Jamison is grounded in principles of diversity, inclusivity, and affordability. We recognize the importance of these values, especially for kids growing up in a city with its unique set of challenges. Camp Jamison serves as a vital escape and reset for these young individuals, offering a week of fun, relaxation, and reflection. Our carefully curated activities not only entertain but also foster the development of vital interpersonal and peace-building skills. We aim to empower these children to become future community leaders in their Philadelphia neighborhoods.
Your child will have the chance to make new friends, explore exciting activities, and embark on unforgettable adventures. They can look forward to arts and crafts, canoeing, and swimming in the lake, all in the company of fellow campers.

It’s a safe camp, my kid has made new friends and gained new experiences that will help him the rest of his life. It’s very rewarding!
Camp Jamison provides great opportunities to be in the outdoors and meet new friends from diverse backgrounds.
Step out of the box and welcome natural adventures and fun to your children.
Well worth the money and my kid loved it!
Don’t be scared Camp Jamison had the best staff protecting and teaching our kids .
The staff is largely made up of former campers-speaks to their own experiences. Our son loved it. Communication was great.
When the week is over, I am already looking forward to the next.
This has been the best week of my entire summer. I have made so many friends here. Before this camp I never went outside, but at Camp Jamison I can and I love going outside with all of my friends!
It is awesome being at this camp, and I can’t wait to come back to Camp Jamison!
Camp Jamison makes one week feel like the best summer ever!
James M. Trauger was a founding Board Member of Camp Jamison. Camp Jamison would not exist without his support, guidance and endless advice.
Jim dedicated his life to providing children with the opportunity to experience summer camp. He knew that conversations were better when held on cabin porches, and that a great week at camp can change a child’s life.
In memory of his life and to celebrate his impact on Camp Jamison, we’ve established the James M. Trauger Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded to a worthy new camper every summer. Donate directly to his scholarship through our donation page.
