School-Age & Early Childhood Registration information<br />
Every camper is special. We want to ensure<br />
that every camper has a wonderful and<br />
memorable experience at camp, and that<br />
requires your help. Please carefully review the<br />
information in this booklet, information you<br />
will receive after registration and information<br />
that is sent home from camp. The registration<br />
fee is non-refundable, and non-applicable to<br />
camp tuition. The <strong>JCC</strong> is not responsible for<br />
unintended, unforeseen absences. The <strong>JCC</strong><br />
reserves the right to cancel any camp for lack<br />
of minimum enrollment; balances paid will be<br />
transferred or refunded. You will be notified in<br />
advance of any cancellations.<br />
How to register<br />
Use the appropriate registration form (starting<br />
on page 9) and return it with the required<br />
payment. Use one form per child. Once<br />
registration is received, other forms will be sent<br />
to you, which must be completed and returned<br />
at least two weeks before camp starts. Full<br />
payment is due per the deadlines at right.<br />
Deposit and billing<br />
With each child’s registration form you must<br />
include the following at minimum:<br />
• $35 per week deposit<br />
• $20 non-applicable, non-refundable<br />
registration fee<br />
Registration will not be considered without both<br />
the deposit and the registration fee. Note: Mail<br />
and billing will be sent to the child’s address.<br />
The <strong>JCC</strong> accepts cash, checks and credit<br />
cards. There will be no third party billing.<br />
Sibling discount<br />
A 2% discount will be credited for each child’s<br />
camp tuition when more than one child from<br />
a family attends at least one session in the<br />
same camp (both in School-Age <strong>Camp</strong> or both<br />
in ECDP <strong>Camp</strong>). This credit will be calculated<br />
following the end of camp once all registration<br />
changes are recorded. The credit can ONLY be<br />
applied toward other <strong>JCC</strong>, ECDP or Children’s<br />
Programs (not including fundraisers or<br />
membership). The credit must be used by Dec.<br />
31, <strong>2016</strong>. If a sibling does not attend a program<br />
for any reason, the credit will not be given.<br />
What tuition includes<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> tuition includes materials, transportation<br />
(School-Age <strong>Camp</strong>s only), a camp T-shirt,<br />
daily snacks, field trips and cookouts. Parents<br />
will receive advance notice of special events<br />
and optional program activities that require an<br />
additional fee. Because camps are programmed<br />
by session, campers who do not attend all five<br />
days each week may miss field trips, special<br />
programs and activities. Unfortunately, we are<br />
unable to change or substitute days for which<br />
a child has been registered to accommodate a<br />
specific trip or event.<br />
Scholarships/financial aid<br />
Every child deserves a summer camp<br />
experience. For that reason, the <strong>JCC</strong> offers a<br />
limited number of scholarships for camps and<br />
memberships. Scholarship applications must be<br />
received by May 13, <strong>2016</strong>. Please call the <strong>JCC</strong><br />
for a scholarship application.<br />

Yachad, meaning “all together” in Hebrew, is<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Rishon</strong>’s inclusion program for children<br />
with special needs.<br />
What is inclusion?<br />
• Incorporating everyone with their strengths<br />
and challenges, and allowing everyone to<br />
contribute.<br />
• Creating a sense of community among all<br />
participants.<br />
Why do children need inclusion?<br />
• Fosters the development of a feeling of<br />
belonging.<br />
• Embraces the acceptance of individuality<br />
among peers.<br />
• Develops a sense of independence.<br />
What do we do?<br />
• Hands on learning.<br />
• Provide additional support staff.<br />
• Gross motor and fine motor development.<br />
• Improve social interactions and social skills<br />
among peers.<br />
• Make accommodations as necessary by<br />
altering teaching methods without lowering<br />
standards.<br />
• Modify activities to better meet individual<br />
needs.<br />
There will be no additional cost to enroll your<br />
child in <strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Rishon</strong>’s Yachad Program<br />
provided our grant funding is renewed again<br />
this year.<br />
Is Yachad right for my child?<br />
Because individual needs vary, the first step<br />
is to see if our Yachad Program is a good fit<br />
for your child. Please contact Mick Hagan,<br />
inclusion specialist, at 315-445-2360, ext. 129.<br />
Space is limited, so don’t delay!<br />

experience “by doing.” Our diverse Specialty <strong>Camp</strong>s offer<br />
campers exciting new challenges and familiar favorites, while our Nitzanim <strong>Camp</strong><br />

themes, field trips, occasional overnights and special events.<br />
Program Options<br />
Nitzanim Day <strong>Camp</strong><br />
This camp is geared toward the child who<br />
wants an exciting variety of activities. It is many<br />
of the specialty camps all rolled into one with an<br />
emphasis on weekly themes. Specialists lead<br />
activities in arts and crafts, sports and games,<br />
Israeli culture with a visiting Israeli scout<br />
counselor, drama and nature.<br />
Daily Red Cross instructional and recreational<br />
swimming and a weekly Shabbat celebration<br />
round out some of Nitzanim’s highlights.<br />
Nitzanim weekly field trips will take place<br />
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays<br />
depending on the week. One day each week<br />
is supplemented with a field day with themed<br />
activities. Fridays are known as super Friday<br />
where campers are given the opportunity to<br />
choose between traditional (i.e. sports and arts)<br />
and alternative activities (like slip and slide,<br />
scavenger hunts, wacky water fun and much<br />
more) to create their own schedules.<br />
Specialty <strong>Camp</strong>s<br />
We offer over 30 different Specialty <strong>Camp</strong>s for<br />
kids to explore a specific interest area for an<br />
entire week. From rocketry and basketball to<br />
Overnight Fun<br />
<strong>Camp</strong>ers have the opportunity to attend our<br />
optional Thursday overnights for an additional<br />
fee when enrolled in weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8. In<br />
addition to two overnights here at the <strong>JCC</strong>,<br />
we’ve got some cool off-site destinations lined<br />
up! (See below schedule.) All overnights include<br />
dinner on Thursday as well as breakfast and<br />
lunch on Friday. <strong>Camp</strong>ers must be enrolled in a<br />
school-age camp the week of the overnight.<br />

WEEK 2 | Thursday, July 7 at the <strong>JCC</strong><br />

In addition to each camp’s special area of<br />
focus, campers participate in daily Red Cross<br />
swim instruction and recreational swimming.<br />
Some swim times may be limited due to<br />
schedules and possible travel times. A typical<br />
Specialty <strong>Camp</strong> day includes 30 minutes of<br />
instructional swim, approximately 45 minutes<br />
of recreational swimming and 2-4 hours of<br />
concentration time at the specialty activity.<br />

from a credit card, I authorize the <strong>JCC</strong> of Syracuse to<br />
automatically charge my credit card account for each<br />
consecutive month of the plan.<br />

<strong>Camp</strong> runs for 8 weeks<br />
Our Early Childhood <strong>Camp</strong>s encompass the high standards Monday–Friday<br />
of our school-year Early Childhood Development Program. June 27 – August 19<br />
We believe camp should be the place for making new friends<br />
No camp on July 4<br />
and having fun-filled days. Our goal is to provide a summer of<br />
developmentally appropriate, interactive, outdoor activities that are sure to create<br />
special memories for even our youngest campers.<br />
General information<br />
Staff<br />
Year-round Early Childhood Director Jo David<br />
and Assistant Director Pam Ranieri supervise<br />
our Early Childhood <strong>Camp</strong>s. Experienced<br />
early childhood professionals from our schoolyear<br />
program and carefully selected college<br />
students staff our camp groups. These skilled,<br />
trained counselors care about children and<br />
offer guidance, support, encouragement,<br />
enthusiasm and love.<br />
Schedule<br />
Our camp activity schedules are based<br />
on a five-day week. To accommodate<br />
varying family needs, we allow campers to<br />
choose to join us for fewer days in a week<br />
on Tuesday and Thursday or Monday,<br />
Wednesday and Friday. <strong>Camp</strong>ers that<br />
choose these lesser time options will get<br />
to experience a wide variety, but not all, of<br />
the activities summer camp offers. Tenokia<br />
have the extended full-day option only.<br />
Important pick-up information for<br />
9 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. campers: If you also have<br />
children attending the <strong>JCC</strong>’s School-Age <strong>Camp</strong>,<br />
please come pick up your ECDP camper first by<br />
3:45 p.m.<br />
Groups<br />
Children are placed according to chronological<br />
age so that we can offer a developmentally<br />
appropriate and safe program. Absolutely<br />
no exceptions can be allowed. All programs<br />
(except off-site field trips for Gesher and<br />
Yeladim campers) are held at the <strong>JCC</strong>. Each<br />
group has their own individual, air-conditioned,<br />
brightly lit and developmentally equipped room<br />
to utilize as their special indoor home base.<br />
Following our licensing policies, our five unique<br />
Early Childhood <strong>Camp</strong>s are:<br />
• Tenokia (meaning nursery) for campers<br />

Age <strong>Camp</strong> but still too young to become a<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> Aide or CIT. Junior <strong>Camp</strong> Aides will<br />
learn valuable skills such as teamwork and<br />
cooperation as they prepare to become a future<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> Aide or CIT. Participants will still be<br />
able to enjoy the daily camp experience while<br />
taking on more responsibility than the average<br />
camper. The Junior <strong>Camp</strong> Aide fee is $100 per<br />
week for <strong>JCC</strong> of Syracuse members and $150<br />
per week for non-members.<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> Aide<br />

as a job coach during his or her week at the<br />
<strong>JCC</strong>. The <strong>Camp</strong> Aide will be assigned to a<br />
group and assist the counselors and CITs.<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> Aides will have the added advantage<br />
of participating in the programs of their group.<br />
Swimming, field trips and overnights are all<br />
included in this camp. <strong>Camp</strong> Aides may be<br />
required to attend a meeting/training with the<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> Director. Though there is no guarantee of<br />

job duties. An interview may be required prior to<br />
