Our Early Childhood Camps encompass the high standards Camp runs for 8 weeks of our school-year Early Childhood Development Program. Monday–Friday We believe camp should be the place for making new friends June 29 – August 21 and having fun-filled days. Our goal is to provide a summer of developmentally appropriate, interactive, outdoor activities that are sure to create special memories for even our youngest campers. General informaTIon Staff Year-round Early Childhood Director Jo David and Assistant Director Pam Ranieri supervise our Early Childhood Camps. Experienced early childhood professionals from our schoolyear program and carefully selected college students staff our camp groups. These skilled, trained counselors care about children and offer guidance, support, encouragement, enthusiasm and love. Schedule Our camp activity schedules are based on a five-day week. To accommodate varying family needs, we allow campers to choose to join us for fewer days in a week on Tuesday and Thursday or Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Campers that choose these lesser time options will get to experience a wide variety, but not all, of the activities summer camp offers. Tenokia have the extended full-day option only. Calendars A calendar that includes a brief description of each day’s activities will be provided to let you know what is scheduled to happen each week so that you can prepare your camper for the upcoming week’s activities. We hope this will enable you and your child to anticipate the wonderful activities that will happen each day. Groups Children are placed according to chronological age so that we can offer a developmentally appropriate and safe program. Absolutely no exceptions can be allowed. All programs (except off-site field trips for Gesher and Yeladim campers) are held at the JCC. Each group has their own individual, air-conditioned, brightly lit and developmentally equipped room to utilize as their special indoor home base.
