The physical safety and emotional well-being of our campers and staff are our top priorities. We have a wonderful registered nurse on site daily, who is available and equipped to care for any camper and staff member needs. A counselor always accompanies a child to the nurse’s office, and the nurse or child’s unit head will follow up after any medical-related visit (sometimes campers just need an emotional-support bandaid!). Our staff pays great attention to the general health, wellness, and safety of our campers, with a special emphasis on keeping them hydrated during the hot summer days.

At camp, the emotional well-being of our campers and staff is a top priority. Our experienced Care Team works to support all members of our community before, during, and even after the summer. They work with each counselor team to recognize and support a variety of campers’ needs, while also serving as partners in developing unique strategies to encourage self-confidence, strong communication skills, positive conflict resolution, and overall social-emotional well-being. This team often reaches out to families in advance of the summer to better understand any camper needs or unique situations so the entire Day Camp @ the JCC team is best equipped to support each camper the moment camp begins. While a camper’s unit head is a family’s primary point of contact during the summer, Care Team members are always available to connect with camp families directly. Our Care Team works closely with all leadership team members, counselors, and campers to provide personalized guidance, support, and supervision for every member of the camp community, ensuring that personal growth is a key aspect of all Day Camp @ the JCC summers.
