It’s designed to create a sense of community among all participants and help Yachad campers develop feelings of belonging and independence. What do we do in Yachad? • Provide a fun camp experience modified to the camper’s needs. • Provide additional trained support staff. • Improve social interactions and social skills among peers, and facilitate friendships. • Make accommodations as necessary by altering teaching methods without lowering standards. There will be no additional cost to enroll your child in Camp Romano’s Yachad Program provided our grant funding is renewed again this year. Is Yachad right for my child? Because individual needs vary, the first step is to see if our Yachad Program is a good fit for your child. Please contact Amy Bisnett, inclusion specialist, at 315-445-2040, ext. 122. Space is limited, so don’t delay! Overnight Fun 4 JCC of Syracuse | 2018 Summer Camp Guide What you need to know... Camp Romano offers children entering grades 1-6 a variety of adventurous and enriching programs which provide opportunities to establish lasting friendships and gain experience “by doing.” Our diverse Specialty Camps offer campers exciting new challenges and familiar favorites, while our Nitzanim Day Camp combines the spirit and energy of a comprehensive day camp program with weekly themes, field trips, occasional overnights and special events. Campers have the opportunity to attend our optional Thursday overnights for an additional fee when enrolled in weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8. And, boy, have we got lots of overnight fun in store!

Bus TransporTATIon Neighborhood bus transportation is included in school-age camp tuition fees. See the neighborhood bus routes at right for the stop nearest you, and indicate the stop on your registration form. Parents may drop off and pick up their children at the JCC, as transportation is not available in all areas. Transportation is not available for ECDP campers and school-age campers attending early and/or late care. Neighborhood bus stops We offer three routes—Syracuse/DeWitt, Manlius and Fayetteville—that provide neighborhood bus service for Nitzanim, Specialty Camps and SyraCruisin’. Please find the stop most convenient for you, and indicate it on your camper’s application form. We cannot accommodate door-to-door bus stops. Stops may be eliminated for lack of pick-ups. In the morning, the bus run begins at approximately 8 a.m. and arrives at the JCC by 8:55 a.m. The stops on the list farthest away from the JCC are picked up closer to 8 a.m., while the stops near the JCC are picked up closer to 8:55 a.m. and the start of the camp day. In the afternoon, the bus run begins shortly after 4 p.m. and is finished by approximately 4:45 p.m. The bus route runs in reverse at this time with the bus stops nearest to the JCC dropped off shortly after 4 p.m. while the stops farther from the JCC are dropped off closer to 4:45 p.m. Please note that pick-up and drop-off times may vary from week to week, with the gain or loss of other campers on the route. We will notify you the week prior to each session with the approximate pick up and drop off times. All routes end in the morning and begin in the afternoon at the JCC. Of course, you have the option of dropping off and/or picking up your camper(s). We will make every effort to keep the schedule running smoothly and on time.
