Throughout the camp season, there may be scheduled field trips that take place. Your child will require a signed waiver in order to attend. This waiver can be found on our website (campjcc.ca) under the forms tab. Parents will be informed of the scheduled out-trip within the welcome email outlining the weekly schedule. If you do not wish for your child to attend the out-trip, we ask that you please keep your child home for the day, as there will be no alternate programming available during these times. We are unable to provide refunds if you decide to keep your child home.
Pool Information
• All children seven years old and younger are required to stay within arm’s reach of an individual over the age of 16 and wear a life jacket. The Steven Blitz Aquatics Centre has an assortment of life jackets for camp participants to utilize. If your child prefers to use one from home, they are more than welcome!
• Children eight years and older will have the opportunity to complete a swim test at the beginning of each camp week. This test will be supervised by the on-duty lifeguard. If the participant passes the test, they will be eligible to swim without a lifejacket. If they are unsuccessful, they will require the use of a lifejacket. They can attempt the swim test once per week, and a master list of successful participants will be recorded throughout the summer.
• The swim test consists of jumping into the deep end, without touching the wall or using an aid, the child must then tread water for 60 seconds with their jaw line, nose, and ears out of the water. Without touching the wall or using an aid, they will be required to demonstrate a 25 metre front crawl with their head in the water, breathing to each side as required.
• Due to the ratios required within the pool, campers must participate in the scheduled swim periods unless a medical reason is present and communicated in advance. We do not have alternate activities available during these times.
Zero Tolerance Policy
At Camp JCC, the safety and well-being of our campers and staff are our top priority. We are committed to fostering a positive, inclusive, and respectful environment for all. While we strive to work with campers and their families to address behavioural concerns and provide opportunities for growth, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy for behaviours that compromise the safety and harmony of the camp community. This includes, but is not limited to, excessive verbal or physical aggression, such as hitting, punching, kicking, fighting, or making threats of violence. Additionally, bullying, excessive name calling, swearing, stealing, and damaging another person’s property are unacceptable behaviours. Any camper engaging in such actions may face immediate disciplinary measures, including expulsion for the remainder of the camp season. Our goal is to work together to ensure that all campers have a positive experience, and we take these matters seriously to maintain a safe and supportive environment for everyone.
