2017 JCC Summer Camp Guide

Welcome
to JCC
Camp Rishon!

School-Age & Early Childhood Registration information
Every camper is special. We want to ensure
that every camper has a wonderful and
memorable experience at camp, and that
requires your help. Please carefully review the
information in this booklet, information you
will receive after registration and information
that is sent home from camp. The registration
fee is non-refundable, and non-applicable to
camp tuition. The JCC is not responsible for
unintended, unforeseen absences. The JCC
reserves the right to cancel any camp for lack
of minimum enrollment; balances paid will be
transferred or refunded. You will be notified in
advance of any cancellations.
How to register
Use the appropriate registration form (starting
on page 9) and return it with the required
payment. Use one form per child. Once
registration is received, other forms will be sent
to you, which must be completed and returned
at least two weeks before camp starts. Full
payment is due per the deadlines at right.
Deposit and billing
With each child’s registration form you must
include the following at minimum:
• $35 per week deposit
• $20 non-applicable, non-refundable
registration fee
Registration will not be considered without both
the deposit and the registration fee. Note: Mail
and billing will be sent to the child’s address.
The JCC accepts cash, checks and credit
cards. There will be no third party billing.
Sibling discount
A 2% discount will be credited for each child’s
camp tuition when more than one child from
a family attends at least one session in the
same camp (both in School-Age Camp or both
in ECDP Camp). This credit will be calculated
following the end of camp once all registration
changes are recorded. The credit can ONLY be
applied toward other JCC, ECDP or Children’s
Programs (not including fundraisers or
membership). The credit must be used by Dec.
31, 2017. If a sibling does not attend a program
for any reason, the credit will not be given.
What tuition includes
Camp tuition includes materials, transportation
(School-Age Camps only), a camp T-shirt,
daily snacks, field trips and cookouts. Parents
will receive advance notice of special events
and optional program activities that require an
additional fee. Because camps are programmed
by session, campers who do not attend all five
days each week may miss field trips, special
programs and activities. Unfortunately, we are
unable to change or substitute days for which
a child has been registered to accommodate a
specific trip or event.
Scholarships/financial aid
Every child deserves a summer camp
experience. For that reason, the JCC offers a
limited number of scholarships for camps and
memberships. Scholarship applications must be
received by May 22, 2017. Please call the JCC
for a scholarship application.
Tax credits
The JCC’s summer day camps may qualify for a
childcare tax credit. Contact your tax advisor for
further information.
