School-Age & Early Childhood RegistrATIon informATIon 

Every camper is special. We want to ensure 

that every camper has a wonderful and 

memorable experience at camp, and that 

requires your help. Please carefully review the 

information in this booklet, the information you 

will receive after registration and information 

that is sent home from camp. The registration 

fee is non-refundable, and non-applicable to 

camp tuition. The JCC is not responsible for 

unintended, unforeseen absences. The JCC 

reserves the right to cancel any camp for lack 

of minimum enrollment; balances paid will be 

transferred or refunded. You will be notified in 

advance of any cancellations. 

How to register 

Use the appropriate registration form (starting 

on page 9) and return it with the required 

payment. Use one form per child. Once your 

registration is received, other forms will be sent 

to you, which must be completed and returned 

at least two weeks before camp starts. Full 

payment is due per the deadlines at right. 

Deposit and billing 

With each child’s registration form you must 

include the following at minimum: 

• $50 per week deposit 

• $25 non-applicable, non-refundable 

registration fee 

Registration will not be considered without both 

the deposit and the registration fee. Note: Mail 

and billing will be sent to the child’s address. 

The JCC accepts cash, checks and credit 

cards. There will be no third party billing. 

Sibling discount 

A 2% discount will be credited for each child’s 

camp tuition when more than one child from 

a family attends at least one session in the 

same camp (both in School-Age Camp or both 

in ECDP Camp). This credit will be calculated 

following the end of camp once all registration 

changes are recorded. The credit can ONLY be 

applied toward JCC Health, Physical Education 

and Recreation (HPER) classes; ECDP; or 

Children’s Programs (not including fundraisers 

or membership). The credit must be used by 

Dec. 31, 2018. If a sibling does not attend a 

program for any reason, the credit will not be 

given. 

What tuition includes 

Camp tuition includes materials, transportation 

(School-Age Camps only), a camp T-shirt, 

daily snacks, field trips and cookouts. Parents 

will receive advance notice of special events 

and optional program activities that require an 

additional fee. Because camps are programmed 

by session, campers who do not attend all five 

days each week may miss field trips, special 

programs and activities. Unfortunately, we are 

unable to change or substitute days for which 

a child has been registered to accommodate a 

specific trip or event. 

Scholarships/financial aid 

Every child deserves a summer camp 

experience. For that reason, the JCC offers a 

limited number of scholarships for camps and 

memberships. Scholarship applications must be 

received by May 14, 2018. Please call the JCC 

for a scholarship application. 

Tax credits 

The JCC’s summer day camps may qualify for a 

childcare tax credit. Contact your tax advisor for 

further information.

YachAD Program 

Yachad, meaning “all together” in Hebrew, is 

Camp Romano’s inclusion program for children 

with special needs. It’s designed to create a 

sense of community among all participants 

and help Yachad campers develop feelings of 

belonging and independence. 

What do we do in Yachad? 

• Provide a fun camp experience modified to 

the camper’s needs. 

• Provide additional trained support staff. 

• Improve social interactions and social skills 

among peers, and facilitate friendships. 

• Make accommodations as necessary by 

altering teaching methods without lowering 

standards. 

There will be no additional cost to enroll your 

child in Camp Romano’s Yachad Program 

provided our grant funding is renewed again 

this year. 

Is Yachad right for my child? 

Because individual needs vary, the first step 

is to see if our Yachad Program is a good fit 

for your child. Please contact Amy Bisnett, 

inclusion specialist, at 315-445-2040, ext. 122. 

Space is limited, so don’t delay!

Morning extended care is from 7:30 a.m. to 

9 a.m., and afternoon extended care is from 

4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Charges are $18 per week 

for either early or late care, and $36 per week 

for both. Note: Parents are responsible for 

transporting campers if extended care is used. 

Pre-camp paperwork 

The following paperwork must be submitted by 

June 18, or at least two weeks prior to the 

first day of camp: 

• Health and Examination Form 

Your child must have had a physical exam 

within the past two years. Please note that 

your child will be unable to attend camp 

without this completed form. 

• Trip Permission/Publicity Release 

• Waivers for specific specialty camps 

(where applicable). 

• Parent Handbook Please read; sign and 

return back cover form. 

• Medication Permission Authorization 

This form is needed if your child takes any 

regular or occasional medications (including 

over-the-counter) during the camp day. 

These forms will be mailed to you with the 

confirmation packets before camp begins. You 

may also download the forms from the JCC’s 

website www.jccsyr.org. 

Bus TransporTATIon 

Neighborhood bus transportation is included 

in school-age camp tuition fees. See the 

neighborhood bus routes at right for the stop 

nearest you, and indicate the stop on your 

registration form. Parents may drop off and pick 

up their children at the JCC, as transportation is 

not available in all areas. Transportation is not 

available for ECDP campers and school-age 

campers attending early and/or late care. 

Neighborhood bus stops 

We offer three routes—Syracuse/DeWitt, 

Manlius and Fayetteville—that provide 

neighborhood bus service for Nitzanim, 

Specialty Camps and SyraCruisin’. Please find 

the stop most convenient for you, and indicate it 

on your camper’s application form. We cannot 

accommodate door-to-door bus stops. 

Stops may be eliminated for lack of pick-ups. 

In the morning, the bus run begins at 

approximately 8 a.m. and arrives at the JCC by 

8:55 a.m. The stops on the list farthest away 

from the JCC are picked up closer to 8 a.m., 

while the stops near the JCC are picked up 

closer to 8:55 a.m. and the start of the camp 

day. In the afternoon, the bus run begins shortly 

after 4 p.m. and is finished by approximately 

4:45 p.m. The bus route runs in reverse at this 

time with the bus stops nearest to the JCC 

dropped off shortly after 4 p.m. while the stops 

farther from the JCC are dropped off closer to 

4:45 p.m. 

Please note that pick-up and drop-off times 

may vary from week to week, with the gain or 

loss of other campers on the route. We will 

notify you the week prior to each session with 

the approximate pick up and drop off times. 

All routes end in the morning and begin in the 

afternoon at the JCC. Of course, you have the 

option of dropping off and/or picking up your 

camper(s). We will make every effort to keep 

the schedule running smoothly and on time.

In addition to each camp’s special focus area, campers participate in daily Red Cross swim 

instruction and recreational swimming. Some swim times may be limited due to schedules 

and possible travel times. A typical Specialty Camp day includes 30 minutes of instructional 

swim, 45 minutes of recreational swimming and 2–4 hours of dedicated time in the specialty 

activity. After registering, you will receive detailed camp-specific information.

each week is supplemented with a field day

Enrollment in camp is on a first come, first served basis. If you wish to enroll you must turn in a registration form accompanied 

by a $25 registration fee and a deposit of $50 per each week of camp you are registering. No application will be accepted without 

the appropriate fees. 

If you would like to withdraw or decrease your schedule for camp you must do so in writing by the following dates. 

• April 20 – Deadline to withdraw or decrease program with deposit returned. 

• May 18 – Deadline to withdraw or decrease program; deposit is now non-refundable, balance minus deposit will be

per your registration, regardless of attendance.

in the same camp (both in School-Age Camp or both in ECDP Camp). This discount will be provided in the form of a voucher 

after camp has ended and can only be applied to future JCC programming. 

Absences/Switching Days 

We are unable to adjust camp tuition for absences due to illness or holiday. We are also unable to “switch” days to provide

planned well in advance.

I, the undersigned primary member, for myself and all 

persons listed above, hereby agree to the following: 

I am applying for membership with the Jewish 

Community Center (JCC) of Syracuse. I agree to 

abide by its rules and bylaws. I understand that all 

members 18 years and older may participate in the 

JCC’s annual meeting. 

I understand that membership dues are payable in full 

at the time of joining or renewal unless a payment plan 

has been approved in advance. A payment plan only 

specifies the manner in which payments will be made 

and does not reflect a month-to-month membership 

commitment. If paying by monthly automatic payments 

from a credit card, I authorize the JCC of Syracuse to 

automatically charge my credit card account for each 

consecutive month of the plan. 

I understand that membership dues are automatically 

renewed each year unless I give notice in writing. 

Note that the JCC of Syracuse reserves the right to 

cancel a membership for any reason at any time with 

appropriate notice. I understand that membership 

is not transferable and membership dues are 

non-refundable. 

I have read and agree with these membership terms 

as acknowledged by my signature below.

What you need to know... 


Our Early Childhood Camps encompass the high standards Monday–Friday 

of our school-year Early Childhood Development Program. 


We believe camp should be the place for making new 


friends and having fun-filled days. Our goal is to provide a 

summer of developmentally appropriate, interactive, outdoor activities that are sure 

to create special memories for even our youngest campers.

Staff

our school-year program and carefully selected 

college students staff our camp groups. These 

skilled, trained counselors care about children 

and offer guidance, support, encouragement, 

enthusiasm and love. 

Schedule 

Our camp activity schedules are based 

on a five-day week. To accommodate 

varying family needs, we allow campers to 

choose to join us for fewer days in a week 

on Tuesday and Thursday or Monday, 

Wednesday and Friday. Campers that 

choose these lesser time options will get

the activities summer camp offers. Tenokia 

have the extended full-day option only.
