AMERICAN RED CROSS LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAM The JCA is an authorized provider for the American Red Cross. All skills taught follow the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program guidelines. All campers will be assessed and be assigned a colored neckband to wear in the pool during camp based on the strength of their swimming ability to assist our American Red Cross lifeguards in keeping your swimmer safe. Group Swim Instruction is provided to Camp Gan Yeladim K’Ton and Tovim campers, KinderCamp and Sabra campers. JCA swim instructors are certified and trained WaterSafety Instructors (W.S.I.).

JCA and JJC pools meet and exceed state minimum requirements for aquatic facilities.

Swim instructor to student ratios are regulated by the American Red Cross.

P ool water chemistry is tested a minimum of five times per day.

Level achievements are issued to every camper during each camp session.

Pool use is contingent on weather and health and safety standards.

Swim groups are formed according to swim ability.

W e will never compromise our standards to keep the pools open.

I hereby grant permission for my Patty Cake, K’Ton, Tovim, KinderCamp, Adventure Days or Sabra camper to participate in swim instruction. I hereby grant permission for my Sabra, Habonim, Camp Yalla, or Adventure Days camper to participate in field trips or specialties away from the JCA and JJC. I give permission to the JCA to authorize any emergency action necessary to ensure the safety of my child. I understand that the JCA is not financially responsible for medical or emergency care given to my child. I permit the free use of our names and/or pictures in broadcasts, newspapers, brochures, Facebook, JCA website or other forms of communication.

Please fully complete and return camp application form to the Registrar’s Office; incomplete forms will be returned with deposit, and spaces will not be guaranteed until forms are returned with complete information. The person signing below accepts financial responsibility for 100% of camp fees. I have enclosed a nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit per session (see Fees and Deposits) and understand that the full balance of payment is due by May 1, 2022. Signature of parent or guardian

REGISTRATION Camps are open to all children regardless of race, religious affiliation or ethnic origin. Membership is not required, but JCA members and Patty Cake age children currently enrolled in ECE programs, or for the 2022 - 2023 school year, have priority registration through March 18. Guests are encouraged to submit applications with deposits early to secure a space on the waiting list. In the event space is not available, all monies are refunded. Cabin requests must be reciprocal and written on registration forms by May 1. Our cabin groups are designed to meet each camper’s individual needs; however, the JCA reserves the right to discontinue service in the event that a camper’s placement does not serve the best interests of the individual or group. Registration for all camps is required at least three business days prior to the start day.

FINANCIAL AID

FEES AND DEPOSITS Applicants must be in good financial standing with the JCA to register for any camp program. All applications must be completed online or turned in to the Registrar’s Office. All camps require a $100 deposit per session per child.

Deposits are not refundable or transferable to other JCA programs outside of camp. Campers who register by February 18 for a minimum of eight weeks with full payment at the time of registration will receive a 5% discount (excluding Gan Yeladim). Payments must be made by cash or check only. There are no discounts on Habonim specialty programs. This discount does not apply to those receiving financial assistance. Balances for all camp programs regardless of session must be paid in full by May 1. The JCA will not guarantee placement if balances are outstanding after that date. Refunds of camp fees for any sessions will be granted, except for deposits, only if the JCA is notified in writing of withdrawal prior to May 1. Notification of withdrawal on or after May 1 results in loss of all fees paid. All changes (in writing) regarding registration, including schedules, sessions and specialties, result in a $15 per change fee payable at the time the change is made. On or after May 1, there is no credit issued for changes to schedules with lesser tuitions. Camp fees include camp t-shirt and daily snack.

JCA Registrar ext. 228 or 233 | programregistrar@jcajax.org

Adjusted fees are available on the basis of financial need and the availability of funds. Fee adjustment forms, with required documentation including 2021 tax return, must be received by March 15 to be considered for disbursement by April 1. Late applications are accepted for disbursement of any remaining funds. All paperwork must be fully completed. Please indicate on your registration form if you wish to receive a fee adjustment packet. Full deposits are still required upon application. If financial aid is insufficient or unavailable, deposits are refunded. For more information, contact Nancy Green at (904) 730-2100 at ext. 247.
