Get Ready for Your Camp Adventure!

Beat the Heat: We love having as many of our camp activities outside as possible. In the event of extreme heat, we make sure that campers are hydrated and adjust our schedule to include extra swim and more time in shaded areas.

Safety: Our first priority is the health, safety, and well-being of the entire camp community. We have emergency action plans as well as behavior guidelines to maintain a healthy environment for our campers and staff.

What to Pack: T-shirt, shorts, bathing suit, two cloth masks, sunscreen, swim diaper (if applicable), towel, sneakers, and a water bottle. All items should be labeled. *Contact the camp office about any individual needs for your child.

Drop-Off/Pick-Up: Morning drop-off is 8:30 - 8:45. Our camp day starts at 8:45 am. Half day campers will be picked up at 12:30 pm and full day pick-up is at 3:30 pm. Parents will drop off campers outside of the main doors to the JCC. Before and after care options are available. *Parents should communicate with the camp office for any late drop-offs or early pick-ups.

Lunch and Snacks: We ask that campers be sent with lunch each day, keeping in mind that camp is peanut-free and requests Kosher-style lunch (no mixing of meat and dairy products, and no pork or shellfish products). Camp JCC serves a Kosher snack every morning and afternoon. *Please let the camp office know about any allergies or specific dietary needs your child may have.

Communication: Open communication between our staff and camp families is key to an amazing summer. This includes weekly communications with notes for the upcoming week and camp highlights. Please be sure we have your current e-mail and phone information.

Forms: Campers are required to have their medical forms (allergies,dietary restrictions, medications, immunizations, etc.) on file. In addition, consent for record sharing, medical authorization, and sunscreen are required.

All forms are available through the online registration portal.
