Yes, we provide a nutritious catered lunch each day. The lunches are kosher and nut—and seed-free. We also provide gluten-free options. In addition to lunch, we provide a healthy snack each day and challah on Fridays for Shabbat.

Our ratio of campers to staff is 4:1 in our Lower Division and 5:1 in our Middle and Upper Divisions. There are 10–16 campers in each bunk and three to five staff members, depending on the group size and age of the children.

The JCC has two state-of-the-art indoor pools, which we use daily. Swimming is one of the main elements of the camp experience, and all campers participate in instructional swim with our talented Aquatics Staff. Our aquatics program focuses on developmental milestones and meeting children where they are. Campers participate in daily instructional swim by our Red Cross-certified water safety instructors and lifeguards using an ongoing curriculum and swim assessments. See the “Aquatics” section of our FAQ for more information.

Yes, campers do not have to bring a towel to camp.

We offer a wide range of activities for all campers, including art, cooking, dance, engineering, music, sports, swim, yoga, and more! All age groups get to participate in these activities, although older campers have fewer per week because of the time spent focused on their specialty. These activities are taught by professional instructors and utilize a hands-on, experiential approach to learning.

The Day Camp @ the JCC offers children a chance to learn and grow, to try new activities, and to make new friends.
