DEAR J-CAMP FAMILIES:We are pleased that you are considering J-Camp this summer for your child. Our numerous camp programs provide an excellent opportunity for children ages 2 to 15 to make the most out of their summer vacation. J-Camp has been a consistent source of high-quality summer programming for many years. We are excited to share this year’s wonderful offerings with you and your family!

Camp K’Ton is newly added this year for children 2 – 3 years of age. Space is limited! Camp begins Monday, July 1 and ends on Friday, August 23, 2013. This camp runs for 2 weeks per session with a total of 4 sessions (8 weeks). Children will engage in a wide variety of activities including arts & crafts, swim, sports, storytime and more. There are 2 options: half day from 8am - 12:30pm or full day from 8am - 6pm.

Camp Yeladim (for ages 3–5) is designed to encourage your child to explore his or her surroundings in new and exciting ways. Our summer camp curriculum allows children to learn through hands-on experiences, while still capturing the most exciting elements of the summer, such as swimming and outdoor play. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff takes great pride in offering your children a warm and caring environment that allows them to be creative, expressive, and outgoing. Your child will be transported into a thrilling world of new activities, games, and toys, all geared towards encouraging your child to learn through the use of his or her five senses. We will be offering one field trip for blueberry picking. In addition to Camp Yeladim we are offering 9 weeks of Specialty Camps that focus on enriching your child’s experience in the arts, cooking, drama and sports.

Camp Haverim (for ages 5–15) provides children with a wide range of opportunities to help them discover their perfect niche. If your child has an affinity for sports, theater, art, or science, then Camp Haverim’s Specialty Camps are sure to do the trick. Is your child always seeking the next new activity? If so, then the J-Camp Experience will offer just the right amount of variety to keep his or her curiosity piqued. With weekly field trips, art projects, time outdoors, and more, Camp Haverim offers fun for all while fostering self-confidence, self-esteem, and teamwork.

Camp Haverim Specialty: All Terrain Tracker (grades 2 - 7) Build and take home your very own All-Terrain Tracker vehicle! It travels the rough terrain overcoming objects in its path. Sciensational Workshops will bring its own course for you to conquer. Sand, stones, twigs, and balls will all be part of the challenge, with timed races. You will also learn about gears and work in a group with your new friends as you design a robot you can control. Build a Sumo wrestler and be part of our battle box events. Loads of fun and education in store the Sciensational way!

Camp Haverim Specialty: Travel Camp (grades 3 - 7) Enjoy a different field trip each day, including outdoor adventures and parks. Travel Camp encourages appreciation of our community and environment, teamwork, and responsibility. Probable field trips will be a water slide park, a beach, a state park, bowling and a movie, and an amusement park, with an optional sleep over at the Alliance JCC. Space is limited.

DISCOUNTSEarly Bird Discount: Register and pay-in-full by 4/26/13 and save $10/week on all camps. Payment plans that provide payment in full by 6/14/13 will also be considered paid in full for the Early Bird Discount if set up and approved by 4/26/13.

Sibling Discount: Sibling Discount applies only when both siblings are registered during the same weeks. Sibling Discount is 10% off and applies to lowest-priced camp each applicable week. Sibling Discount does not apply to Early Arrival or Extended Day.*No discounts may be combined.

J-CAMP 2013 (ALL CAMPS) POLICIES AND PROCEDURESRegistration: Registration is complete when all forms are returned to the Business Office and full payment has been made. Registrations will not be accepted unless the registrant’s Alliance JCC account is in good standing (no past due balances). Campers must register for the full camp session as listed. Once your child’s registration has been received, a packet will be sent to you containing forms that must be filled out prior to your child’s beginning camp. These forms are mandatory and your child will not be permitted to attend camp if these forms have not been completed.

Registration Deadline: Registration forms are due by 5pm on the Wednesday prior to the start of camp. Registrations received between 5pm Wednesday and 5pm on the Thursday prior to the start of camp will be charged a $25 late fee. Registrations received between 5pm Thursday and 12pm on the Friday prior to the start of camp will be accepted subject to Alliance JCC approval and charged a $50 late fee. Registration for camp closes at noon on the Friday prior to the camp week. All requests for changes to registration must be submitted in writing.

Registration Fee: A one-time non-refundable family registration fee of $60 ($35 for members) is required for each family.

Member Rates: Member rates are available to Alliance JCC members in good standing. The membership must remain in effect throughout the registered camp period and the campers must be listed on the membership.

Financial Aid: The Jewish Alliance of Greater RI offers financial aid on a limited basis to Alliance JCC members who hold annual memberships. All requests for financial aid are processed online through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment at www.factstuitionaid.com. This process can take up to four weeks therefore, it is recommended that you visit the FACTS website as soon as possible if you intend on applying for aid. Contact the Alliance JCC Business Office at 401.421.4111 or [email protected] for further information. All awards for financial aid are granted at the sole discretion of the Jewish Alliance of Greater RI. The Alliance JCC accepts DHS payments for Camp Yeladim, Camp K’Ton and Camp Haverim. Additional payments are required for Specialty Camps and extended care.

Refunds: Registrations cancelled before June 14, 2013 will be refunded all tuition paid less the registration fee and $75 per camp week. No credits or refunds of any kind will be made for any cancellations or changes made by the registrant for any reason after June 14, 2013. The Alliance JCC reserves the right to cancel any program due to insufficient enrollment. Registrants will be notified of any cancellation on the Wednesday before the camp week begins. Every effort will be made to switch the camper to another camp for that week.If the Alliance JCC cancels a camp, a credit will be issued for use towards future Alliance JCC programming.

J-Camp T-Shirts: Each registered camper will receive one J-Camp t-shirt. The cost of the t-shirt is included in the registration fee. Additional summer camp t-shirts are available to purchase for $10 each.

Parents Manual, Communication, And Additional Forms: Once your child’s camp registration has been approved, you will receive a Parents Manual Packet from the Camp Haverim or Camp Yeladim Offices by email. The packet will contain Emergency, Health History and other forms to be completed and returned to the J-Camp Office. No camper will be permitted to attend camp unless all required forms have been completed. All communications, except emergencies, will be via e-mail. Please let us know if e-mail is not a reliable way to communicate with you.

J-CAMP POLICIES & PROCEDURES


Jewish/Israeli Programing: This summer we are fortunate to have two Shlichim (Israeli Education Emissaries) to help with Jewish and Israeli programing in our Haverim camps through team games and activities. Programing at the Alliance focuses on universal human values such as acts of loving kindness, being our personal best, being a part of a team, communal and social responsibility, gratitude and humility, guarding the earth, and treating others with respect and kindness.

Swim: Campers enjoy swim at designated times. Swim lessons are taught by Red Cross Certified aquatics staff. Free swim is shared with our Camp Staff and monitored by Red Cross Certified lifeguards at all times in the pool.

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

Food Policy: Camp K’Ton, Camp Yeladim, and Camp Haverim ask that you follow our kosher lunch policy and send your child to camp with a dairy or vegetarian lunch and snack. A list of suggested foods can be found in the Camp Haverim Parent’s Manual and at the Parent Information Center. Camp Yeladim and Camp K’Ton are nut-free camps. Please do not send your child with nuts or with foods containing nuts.

Medication: All Camper 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.
