CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

JCC Day Campsjccdet.org/daycamps

Howard Gutman: [email protected] or 248.432.5458

WHY JCC DAY CAMPS?

Friendship

The closeness children share as they play and learn together helps them develop compassion, make friendships that last a lifetime and learn to work with many different kinds of people.

Activity

With swimming and hikes in the woods, sports and games, camp means being active, which is vital for mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

Confidence

At camp there’s no competition (except the friendly kind), no homework, tests, or pressure to get good grades, allowing kids to develop confidence and become empowered to face new challenges and situations.

Exploring Talents

JCC Day Camps allow kids the chance to do what they love, working with professional staff from every field who help them develop existing talents and learn new skills.

Independence

Camp is a safe and structured environment where children learn to think for themselves and make good choices.

Jewish Values

While each JCC day camps has its own culture and program, we share a commitment to bringing to life the values of the JCC movement. Chesed (compassion), kehillah (community), tikkun olam (repairing the world), ruach (spirit) and hachnassat orchim (welcoming guests) are woven into the fabric of our camp communities.

2016 CAMP DATESMonday, June 20 – Friday, August 12

Special Needsjccdet.org/specialneeds

Megan Coultas: [email protected] or 248.432.5457

All of the JCC’s summer programs for children with special needs are built around the concept of an Individualized Camper Care Plan (ICCP), which addresses each camper’s specific social, behavioral and communication abilities and goals. The plan also includes all relevant dietary and health information.

Inclusion Programs:• Kids All Together (KAT): Gives children (ages

2 ½-14) with special needs the opportunity to participate in typical activities at summer camp. With support from a 1:1 inclusion counselor, every child has the chance to swim, enjoy arts and crafts, and play sports alongside typically developing peers.

• Camp Connect (formerly SNAP Pioneers): For children in grades K-4, this it offers a 3:1 camper-to-counselor ratio (if needed, a 1:1 counselor is available). This program helps campers connect with their typically developing peers and their peers with disabilities, and it offers activities that may uncover hidden skills, new interests and friendships.

Self-Contained Programs • Special Needs Adventure Program (SNAP):

For children who do not require 1:1 support and wish to participate in regular summer camp. SNAP includes typical camp fun with off-campus adventures. It is divided into Explorers (grades 5-8) and Voyagers (grades 9-12). Throughout the week, both groups go on field trips to destinations like the zoo, DIA, Zap Zone and local parks, as well as participate in volunteer projects to learn the importance of charity, community and team building.

• Teens All Together (TAT): Comprises two separate age groups, 15-17 and 18-26, and offers older campers the chance to enjoy summer activities and learn life skills. Two days a week are spent working in various positions throughout the JCC, with trained staff serving as job coaches; two days are for exploring the community and enjoying camp fun; and one day is for developing “soft skills” such as budgeting, nutrition, and personal safety.

Year-Round Programs• Preschool Inclusion: The Pitt CDC provides

a set number of openings for children with special needs who would benefit from being accompanied by a dedicated inclusion assistant so that they may participate in our preschool program.

• Thursday Night Social Group: Provides adults (18+) with special needs the opportunity to meet with peers, socialize with one another, and, above all, the opportunity to be respected and valued.

• Young Adult Social Group: Social and recreational program for young adults (ages 15-26) with special needs.
