JCC Summer Camps
At the JCC we believe the real value of camp is friendship and community. Through sports, games, arts & crafts, and activities, each of our summer programs emphasizes the Jewish values of caring, responsibility, and respect for friends old and new.
Owings Mills and Park Heights JCC
Campers at the Ben & Esther Rosenbloom JCC in Owings Mills, MD, enjoy programs in our outdoor pools and playgrounds, as well as our gymnasiums. This summer they will also get to enjoy our new splash pad! Noah's Ark campers in Owings Mills and at the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg JCC, located on Park Heights Avenue in Baltimore, spend a portion of their day in our state-of-the art early childhood classrooms. Park Heights campers also have access to a playground as well as our indoor pool and gymnasium.
Camp Milldale
Located in Reisterstown, MD, Camp Milldale features one Olympic-sized pool and two large shallow instructional pools, one with a water slide. We have playing fields for baseball, kickball, and softball and courts for basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, and Ga-Ga. Campers enjoy boating on our lake, exploring the great outdoors on nature hikes, and learning team-building skills on our Ropes Challenge Course which includes a rock climbing wall and a 300-foot long zip line. Campers keep cool outdoors on our sprayground, or while participating in activities like arts and crafts, dancing and music which are held in our shaded pavilions in the woods. On especially hot or rainy days camp programming is held inside our air-conditioned facilities including the Big Max and the Hess House.
I Love the Archives
This one time, long long ago (in Canada), the Discovery Channel released a commercial that went viral. Then, XKCD (the awesome site of awesome) made a comic. In their honor (because the internet loves XKCD) a video was made. Later, the archives webcomic, Derangement and Description, written by Rebecca Goldman, made a comic about how she loves the archives.
The JMM, inspired by the whole process (and the love of archives), could only do one thing: make an awesome video.
Based on the comic by Derangement and Description (based on the concept by the Discovery Channel), the Jewish Museum of Maryland’s staff and interns (from archives, collections, and education) bring you this short video. An ode to the archives, if you will. Head over to the Museum’s blog to see all the comics, videos and generally awesomeness:

How Jews Entered American Politics: The Curious Case of Maryland’s “Jew Bill”
*Audio ONLY*
Sunday, February 22nd, 1 p.m.
Rafael Medoff, The David Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies
During Maryland’s first decades, a “Christians Only” policy applied to those seeking public office. Dr. Rafael Medoff, a noted scholar of Jewish involvement in American politics, will take a candid look at the Maryland legislature’s debates in the early 1800s over political rights for Jews and other non-Christians –a controversy that sheds fascinating light on the process by which Jews entered the American political arena.
Dr. Rafael Medoff is the author of 15 books about American Jewish history, Zionism, and the Holocaust, including a textbook, Jewish Americans and Political Participation, which was named an “Outstanding Academic Title of 2003” by the American Library Association’s Choice Magazine. Dr. Medoff has taught Jewish history at Ohio State University, Purchase College of the State University of New York, and elsewhere, and has served as associate editor of the scholarly journal American Jewish History.
