DEAR J-CAMP FAMILIES:

We are so pleased that you are considering J-Camp for your child this summer!

The variety of J-Camp programs we offer provide an excellent opportunity for children ages 2 to 15 to make the most of their summer vacation. Following the success of last year’s new J-Camp format, we are excited to share this year’s wonderful offerings with you and your family!

Each of our J-Camp programs, Camp K’Ton (ages 2-3), Camp Yeladim (ages 3-5), Camp Haverim (grades K-6) and Counselors-in-Training (grades 7-10), provide your child with a wide range of opportunities to help them discover their perfect niche. All J-Camp programs feature age-appropriate activities led by experienced and knowledgeable staff who take great pride in providing your child with a warm and caring environment that fosters self-confidence, teamwork, and respect. J-Camp activities range from outdoor play, swimming, art projects, gymnastics, drama, cooking, field trips, and more. J-Camp will embrace a new holistic wellness curriculum for children called Discover CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Children’s Health). The program focuses on the importance of physical activity, health education, gardening, and healthy eating behaviors. As such, we will now provide healthy lunch and snacks for all campers on a daily basis!

This summer, all J-Camp programs will feature weekly coordinated Judaic themes which will focus on universal human values. This new synchronized approach will allow campers to connect with each other while feeling like they are part of something bigger.

Our camp staff is certified in CPR and First Aid and all J-Camp programs offer excellent staff-to-camper ratios with an emphasis on health and safety. As always, we are eager to provide your child with the highest standard of care while helping to create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Try J-Camp once and you’ll see that it’s relevant at all stages of your child’s development—come grow with us!

For more information about our J-Camp programs, curricula, and availability, we encourage you to reach us at the contact information listed below.

Sincerely,The J-Camp Staff

Our exciting Camp Haverim will not disappoint! Each week, campers will enjoy participating in a variety of activities focused around specific Judiac and secular themes. Campers are split into groups by age allowing their days to be filled with exciting age-appropriate activities and challenging opportunities to discover new interests, develop different skills, and explore their surroundings. There will also be times when all campers are together as a group to help build community. We will start the day outside on the field with a morning huddle to hear the day’s news and activities. Campers will also have the opportunity to gather together during snack, lunch, and special programs planned throughout the summer.

Weekly schedules allow children to rotate through a variety of activities, including the specialties many have grown to love. There are electives each day allowing campers to focus on their specific interests. Campers will also have daily swim lessons and the opportunity to choose free-swim as one of their electives. We’ve also lined up exciting special visitors who will conduct lessons and activities based on the weekly themes. In addition to weekly field trips, every Friday campers will make challah for Shabbat and will bring home a parents’ letter outlining all the fun they had, including a glimpse into the following week.

Being a Counselor-in-Training is one of the most enjoyable positions available to a young person, but it can also be hard work. It involves dealing with children and your peers on a continual basis. CITs work directly with counselors running programs, creating activities, and learning a variety of teaching techniques. It’s a very rewarding job and gives teens outstanding experience working with others. But the CIT program isn’t all hard work—participants still have the chance to join in fun activities like weekly field trips. And there’s a private CIT lounge where they can unwind without the campers.

The best part... If CITs have a particular area of interest such as sports or art, they can choose to spend more time working with campers in those activities. However, they’ll also be exposed to other activities allowing them to strengthen skills beyond their comfort zone. CITs will have time each day to meet as a group for training and team building workshops. Workshops subjects include:• Behavior management and chronic behavior problems• Managing peer pressure• How to handle emergency scenarios• Program development and implementation

At the end of each session, CITs will receive a certificate of accomplishment as they show marked growth in their teaching and leadership skills. CITs that earn four certificates throughout the summer will automatically get an interview as a Junior Counselor in J-Camp when they turn 16. Not all certificates have to be collected in a one year period. All CITs will also receive Red Cross CPR and First Aid training, with the opportunity to become certified.

J-CAMP POLICIES & PROCEDURES


J-CAMP POLICIES & PROCEDURES (continued)

Parents’ Manual, Communication, and Additional Forms: The Camp Haverim Office will email information to the parents of the registrant upon receipt of the registration form. Completed Emergency, Health History, and other forms must be returned to the J-Camp Office in order to complete the camper’s registration. No camper will be permitted to attend camp unless all required forms have been completed. All Camp Haverim families will get a parents’ letter the Friday before the camp week with a briefing of the week ahead. All communications, except for emergencies, will be via email. Please let us know if email is not a reliable way to communicate with you.

Camp K’Ton and Camp Yeladim will mail forms to parents to be completed and returned to the ECC Office.

Jewish/Israeli Programing: The Dwares JCC is a Jewish institution, however we recognize that not all families attending J-Camp are Jewish. Programing at the Dwares JCC focuses on universal human values such as acts of loving kindness, being our personal best, being part of a team, communal and social responsibility, gratitude and humility, guarding the earth, and treating others with respect and kindness.

The Jewish Alliance is proud to host a Shaliach (Israeli Emissary who acts as a cultural bridge between Israel and the United States) at Camp Haverim. We believe that it is an important goal for both our campers and staff to learn, teach, and identify with Judaism and the State of Israel. We strive to build bridges between our local community and the Jewish community in Israel. As a result, we find the contribution of the Shaliach to be an invaluable step on the way to achieving that goal. The Shaliach brings many prepared activities to incorporate into the camp program. By simply being at camp and integrating into our community, campers have the opportunity to learn about Israel and her culture; in turn, campers teach our Shaliach about American culture. Shlichim participate in a special volunteer program through the Jewish Agency for Israel and complete a thorough background check and training. If you are interested in hosting our Shaliach during the camp season for two to three weeks at a time, please contact Seth Finkle at [email protected] to volunteer your home.

Swim: Campers enjoy swim at designated times. Swim lessons are taught and monitored by American-Red-Cross-certified lifeguards. Camp counselors will be present during all swim periods. Campers in Camp Haverim will have swim lessons on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and may sign up for free-swim as an elective. Towels will be provided.

Field Trips: Thursday is Field Trip Day for Camp Haverim. Camp Havarim, Camp Yeladim, and Camp K’Ton may also plan additional field trips throughout the summer. Parental permission is required, and parents will be given notice in the weekly Parent’s Letter.

Food Policy: A Kosher dairy/vegetarian lunch and two snacks will be served to all campers daily. Camp Haverim is not nut-free, but we have nut-free snacks on hand. Please let us know if your child has any food allergies. Camp Yeladim and Camp K’Ton provide a Kosher, dairy, nut-free lunch for all campers. Please do not send your child to camp with nuts or with foods containing nuts.

Medication: All medication must be submitted to the camp office with a Permission to Dispense Medication form. Campers will not be permitted to carry their own medication. Medications will be administered by the camp staff, and a record of treatment will be kept. This includes over-the-counter and prescription medications for those under age 18, including volunteers and CITs.

Dwares JCC programs are funded, in part, by dollars raised through the Jewish Alliance Annual Campaign. The Alliance is proud to provide services to enhance the education, heritage, and social commitment in our local and global Jewish community.

For more information about the Annual Campaign, contact Michele Gallagher at 401.421.4111 ext. 165 or [email protected].
