Summer Camps
|
Your children may take a break from school in the summer, but the JCC keeps going. We offer day camp and week-long sports and creative arts camps.
Center Campus “Club J”
Children entering grade K-8 enjoy an exciting summer of fun, friendship, and learning at JCC Center Campus “Club J”! The Center Campus club concept allows you to focus on your favorite interests throughout the day or to explore new activities. Pick one or several clubs to join each day. Tap into your creative side with woodworking club, art club, or drama club. Polish your athletic skills in sports prep club. Learn new programs in computer club. Write articles and take photos in journalism club. Experiment with Mad Science club. Learn about healthy food choices in cooking club. New clubs can be formed based on campers’ interests. Our excellent facility includes outdoor playing fields, play yards, air-conditioned full-sized gymnasium, indoor pool, and full-sized auditorium for our annual camp talent show and play. Lunch is included.
Early Years’ Discovery Camp
Children age 3-6 spend the summer exploring with friends. Together, teachers and children explore weekly themes in a spirit of play both inside the classroom and outside in the play yard. Experienced teachers encourage and guide children in music, art, literature, games, and science activities. Teachers help children renew old friendships and discover new ones. Lunch is included in the 9 AM-2 PM camp.
Arts Camps
JCC arts camps offer an environment devoted to children’s creativity, a place where ideas and endeavors are protected and cherished. The JCC arts experience gives children more than just a chance to create a piece of work or dance a new step. It gives them a window to the world of art and dance, as well as the opportunity to work in an environment rich in resources and full of encouragement and support.
Sports CampsJCC sports camps help your children develop motor skills through sports. They’ll learn fundamentals and advanced techniques. They’ll see the value of sustained effort, the roles played by different skills on the playing field, and how teamwork and sportsmanship can matter more than athletic skills. They’ll come to recognize the importance of their own special contribution to the game.
Travel Camp
Get away to Club Getaway! Children entering grade 6-8 leave Tuesday, July 8 at 7 AM to spend 4 days and 3 nights in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains. Situated over 300 acres, Camp Getaway offers more than 30 different adventures, sports and activities, delicious meals, and fun-filled entertainment. Step up to the challenge of the bungee trampoline, bouncy boxing, gladiator joust, and human fooseball. Team up for volleyball challenges, softball tournaments, and basketball championships. Hit the bull's eye at archery or make a cool arts & crafts project. Fun filled dance parties, complete with great music and lights are followed by an ice cream treat. We return to the JCC Friday at 6:30 PM. Registration is required by June 29.
