I attended Camp JORI for many years as a camper, staff member, administrator, and volunteer. Camp JORI is such an amazing camp, helping with scholarships for families that can’t afford it while providing the same amazing experience for all children. Camp JORI is not only an amazing camp, but is truly a home away from home for me and many other alumni and current campers. I love Camp JORI so much that my wife and I decided to have our wedding there! It was the most magical day of our life and getting to spend it at Camp JORI’s beautiful property was not only heartwarming, but amazing to marry the person I love most at the place that feels the most like home to me.
