About Camp 

Summer 2012:
Wednesday, June 27-Wednesday August 15

The JCC offers unique and enriching summer programs for children and their parents, including Mommy & Me classes. This may be your child’s first experience away from home or just a continuation of his or her school year. Whatever the case is, we understand the level of trust you place in us when you enroll your child in our camp, and we are committed to providing the very best care possible. Our camp offers caring and experienced NY State licensed teachers. 

Our summer camp gives your child the opportunity to make new friends and enjoy enriching activities in a safe environment. Their self-confidence grows as they are challenged by their activities and exposed to new programs. We offer a well-rounded schedule, including swim, sports, music, art and transportation options.

Programs

Summer Programs for Two-Year Olds
Under the guidance of warm, caring professionals, children encounter their first-separation experience feeling safe and happy, and our parenting specialists guide parents through this process as well. Our staff-to-child ratio is 1:4. We strive to create an environment rich in stimulation, yet gentle and accepting of each child as he/she develops at his or her own pace. Large and small motor skills are an integral part of our routine. Children are actively engaged in play, arts 'n' crafts, cooking and all camp themes. Transportation available.
