Ready, Set, Go! Camp Registration is Just Around the Corner

The weather may be cold and blustery right now, but it won't be long before the warmer months of summer will be here. That means it's time to start thinking about signing up for summer camp.

On Feb. 1, the JCC Summer Camp brochure will be made available online, with registrations beginning Feb. 8. Rachel Fox, JCC Camping Services director, stressed that fees are remaining the same as they were for the 2007 season. "We are working very hard to keep our costs in line, and as a result, we have decided not to raise fees for summer 2008," she said.

JCC Summer Camps, accredited by the American Camping Association, offer camping options for ages 3 to 25. The variety of programs include an early childhood camp, traditional day camps and intensive specialty camps, such as Circus Camp, Theatre Camp, Art Camp and Sports Camp.

A special needs camp also is offered for children, youth and adults. Daily swimming lessons also are included for all campers (excluding Specialty Camps). In addition, a registered nurse or an American Red Cross certified first aid provider is at each of the three camp sites during all hours of camp operation.

The JCC offers flexible enrollment options to meet the needs of busy families, and transportation and extended childcare also are offered. A sibling discount also is available.
