18 months - entering Pre-K

Located in the Deborah Koenig Early Childhood Center at JCC Rockland, Camp JLand is a big kid experience in a little kid environment! Children spend time outside in the sunshine playing sports, climbing on the playground, splashing in the pool, and mastering the ropes course. Indoors, children exercise their bodies with daily activities such as yoga and martial arts, and their minds with art, cooking and stories. Seasoned counselors take the time to discover what’s unique and special about every child and specialize in creating a meaningful camp experience for their group. Specialists stimulate curiosity and engage young minds in exploring art, sports, movement, gardening, science, swimming and so much more.
