Registration
You can pick up the camp registration form at your local JCC office, and return it there along with a $200 deposit per child for members and a $500 deposit for others. When more than one child is attending, a $500 deposit is required for the first child and $200 for each additional child. JCC membership is not required for admission to camp. Please call the JCC office for details.

Groups
Children are grouped according to age, friendships, grade and school district. Every reasonable attempt will be made to place children with their friends. Parents may request such groupings on the registration form.

Our Staff
All of our camps are supervised by professional educators, social workers and childcare specialists. Counselors are chosen for their maturity, warmth, and ability to relate to children. Senior counselors are a minimum of 21 years of age or have commensurate experience. Our staff attends extensive training seminars prior to the opening of camp. All of our camps are licensed by either the Nassau or Suffolk County Board of Health.

T-Shirts
We wear our T-shirt every day to show our spirit. Two complimentary T-shirts are provided to our campers prior to the official opening of camp. Additional T-shirts, camp bags and other accessories may be purchased at the JCC in mid-June.

Meals
Kid-centered strictly kosher lunches are provided for all Preschool camps, Junior Camp, Theatre Camp, Camp Chaverim and Explorers Camp (when at the campgrounds). All meals and admissions are provided by the JCC on overnight trips at no additional charge. Special arrangements will be made on overnight trips for children who keep kosher. Please notify your child's director if you would like a kosher alternative for your child on overnights, or if your child has any other dietary needs. We are an allergy aware camp.

There is a $50 sibling discount per sibling in each family. Please note that the JCC reserves the right to remove or suspend a child from camp. Whenever possible, our staff will attempt to meet with parents should a problem arise, however no refunds will be made in the event of a suspension or removal.
