JCC Camps Host Robotics Team

It was a high-tech week for campers at Miami’s three Federation-supported Jewish community centers (JCCs), thanks to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation Miami-Yerucham Partnership. For the third year, adults and teens from the award-winning robotics team in Yerucham led week-long camps at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC, the Miami Beach JCC and Alper JCC. The group also participated in camp activities and served as cultural ambassadors, introducing the campers to Yerucham and Israel, while enjoying home hospitality, thanks to a handful of welcoming Miami families. The Robotics Camp program helps strengthen the Miami-Yerucham Partnership and allows the communities to build people-to-people relationships with each other.
