JCC Kids’ Club Camp

Program Overview

Kids’ Club Camp provides engaging programming from the moment campers arrive. Our experienced counselors build schedules that are age appropriate and inspire creativity in campers. Our aim is to build community through crafts, play, and camp events, and our themed weeks provide scaffolding for skits and activities all summer long. 

Kids’ Club Camp is an extension of Kids’ Club in OUSD elementary schools, with familiar staff and expanded use of the school campus:

  • Based at an OUSD Elementary School, Kids’ Club Camp is open to all children in grades TK-6.
  • We can reasonably accommodate students with special needs at camp.  If your child has an IEP or receives any special services during the school year, please contact us at summercamps@jcceastbay.org to discuss if Kids’ Club Camp is a good fit for your family’s needs.

What should my child bring to camp? And what about lunch and snacks?
Campers should bring a backpack with a full water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat. A change of clothes and a light sweatshirt is always a good idea. Please label everything. Lunch and snacks are provided by OUSD Nutrition Services daily, but campers may bring their own lunch and/or snacks, if desired. If medication is necessary during the program, an OUSD Authorization for Medication form has to be filled and submitted to be able for a staff to assist the student. 

What type of training will staff receive?
Prior to camp, all staff will attend a full schedule of in-person training on all policies and procedures including: age appropriate programming, active supervision, health and safety related procedures, training in effective communication, building community, inclusive programming, and much more.

How many campers will be in each group?
Groups may include up to 20 campers, with 2-3 counselors at any given time.

Can we pick a friend for our camper to be with in a group?
Having friends at camp depends entirely on the registration and notice given – we will do our best to accommodate. Please email summercamps@jcceastbay.org with your request as soon as possible.

What about refunds?
Cancellations must be made by May 23, 2025 to receive a refund (less $100 non-refundable deposit per week). Payments will not be refunded for changes and cancellations made after the May 23 deadline.
