Continue to reinvent yourself by choosing from a wide array of virtual and onsite offerings that will challenge your mind, strengthen your body and elevate your soul. Select the programs that work best for you and experience the power of a warm and welcoming community.

The Arts, Culture & Travel (ACT) Department of the Kaplen JCC enriches our community by creating shared experiences that inspire connection, curiosity, and belonging. Through engaging programs in the arts, culture, and travel, we offer opportunities for members to explore, learn, and celebrate together—strengthening ties to Jewish life and to one another. Serving as a vital bridge between early childhood and senior involvement, our department invites individuals and families to continue their JCC journey, deepening engagement and fostering lifelong membership through meaningful cultural discovery and community connection.

Registration is required for all ongoing classes. Most classes have minimum and maximum participant requirements, so we encourage you to register early. No refunds for special events or trips. Check out our website for additional offerings and for updated information.
