Staenberg-Loup Jewish Community Center

We are the Jewish Community Center of Denver. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive atmosphere that enables personal growth, education, wellness, and the arts. We serve individuals and families of any background, and while our philosophy is rooted in Jewish tradition, we welcome those of all faiths and beliefs. We provide fitness, recreational, cultural, educational, and social programs to the Denver community through timeless Jewish values. 

This year, donations to the Jewish Community Center of Denver support the Robert E. Loup Scholarship Fund, which opens doors for families in need, providing access to transformative experiences like the Early Learning School, Ranch Camp, Camp Shai, Tennis Camp (Serve, Snack, and Splash), and the Maccabi Games.

Testimonials

“We’ve been sending our daughters to the JCC ELS [Early Learning School] since they were 6 months old and 4 months old respectively. They’re now 5 and almost 3, and we can’t imagine a more supportive and loving school for our children. The teachers are thoughtful in everything they do, the administration is great at communicating with families, and we love the community this school fosters. Our daughters have learned, had fun, developed their Jewish identities, and created friendships that we are certain will be long-lasting. We can’t speak highly enough of our experiences with the ELS, and we’re so grateful for the time our family has spent as part of this community” – ELS Parent

“At the Ranch Camp we are so proud to be Jewish and show that by introducing Jewish values throughout everyday at camp. Going to the high ropes course is so much more then just touching the top of the rock wall. It’s about friendship, supporting each other and the concept of im lo achshav eimatai ( ‘ואם לא עכשיו אימת) or “if not now, when?” – Former Ranch Camper and Staff Member

“The WTA [Wolf Theatre Academy] has truly made me a different person. It has given me a place where I can truly express who I am, without any judgment. I can do the thing I love most, performing on stage, with my best friends. I can be my goofy self, and my friends love that. I’ve learned how to grow from mistakes. I’ve learned that it’s okay if I don’t do something perfectly the first time, or ever. I have my own individual acting style, and I’ve learned to embrace that. The WTA taught me that I have somewhere to call a second home. It taught me that I have a place to go, and people who love me, no matter what.” – WTA Student
