General Inquiries and Fundraising:
At Camp Jamison, we believe that a summer camp experience has the power to change lives! We believe that every child should get to experience sleeping in a cabin, hiking through the woods, and roasting marshmallows with friends. That is why, since opening in 2011, we’ve offered a comprehensive, one week overnight summer camp experience to all Philadelphia area children.
Our mission at Camp Jamison is to offer a program that’s diverse, inclusive, and, most importantly, affordable! For kids growing up in a city with so many challenges, Camp Jamison offers a much-needed escape and reset – a fun, relaxing, and reflective week full of activities designed to strengthen children’s interpersonal and peace-building skills to empower them to become community leaders back home, in their Philly neighborhoods.
Camp Jamison is filled with opportunities for fun — from a breathtaking lake that’s perfect for canoeing, kayaking and scenic swimming, to spacious campground areas to enjoy daily sports!

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.
