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, the 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 your<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 />
• $50 per week deposit<br />
• $25 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 <strong>JCC</strong> Health, Physical Education<br />
and Recreation (HPER) classes; ECDP; or<br />
Children’s Programs (not including fundraisers<br />
or membership). The credit must be used by<br />
Dec. 31, <strong>2018</strong>. If a sibling does not attend a<br />
program for any reason, the credit will not be<br />
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 14, <strong>2018</strong>. Please call the <strong>JCC</strong><br />
for a scholarship application.<br />

YachAD Program<br />
Yachad, meaning “all together” in Hebrew, is<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> Romano’s inclusion program for children<br />
with special needs. It’s designed to create a<br />
sense of community among all participants<br />
and help Yachad campers develop feelings of<br />
belonging and independence.<br />
What do we do in Yachad?<br />
• Provide a fun camp experience modified to<br />
the camper’s needs.<br />
• Provide additional trained support staff.<br />
• Improve social interactions and social skills<br />
among peers, and facilitate friendships.<br />
• Make accommodations as necessary by<br />
altering teaching methods without lowering<br />
standards.<br />
There will be no additional cost to enroll your<br />
child in <strong>Camp</strong> Romano’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 Amy Bisnett,<br />
inclusion specialist, at 315-445-2040, ext. 122.<br />
Space is limited, so don’t delay!<br />

Bus TransporTATIon<br />
Neighborhood bus transportation is included<br />
in school-age camp tuition fees. See the<br />
neighborhood bus routes at right for the stop<br />
nearest you, and indicate the stop on your<br />
registration form. Parents may drop off and pick<br />
up their children at the <strong>JCC</strong>, as transportation is<br />
not available in all areas. Transportation is not<br />
available for ECDP campers and school-age<br />
campers attending early and/or late care.<br />
Neighborhood bus stops<br />
We offer three routes—Syracuse/DeWitt,<br />
Manlius and Fayetteville—that provide<br />
neighborhood bus service for Nitzanim,<br />
Specialty <strong>Camp</strong>s and SyraCruisin’. Please find<br />
the stop most convenient for you, and indicate it<br />
on your camper’s application form. We cannot<br />
accommodate door-to-door bus stops.<br />
Stops may be eliminated for lack of pick-ups.<br />
In the morning, the bus run begins at<br />
approximately 8 a.m. and arrives at the <strong>JCC</strong> by<br />
8:55 a.m. The stops on the list farthest away<br />
from the <strong>JCC</strong> are picked up closer to 8 a.m.,<br />
while the stops near the <strong>JCC</strong> are picked up<br />
closer to 8:55 a.m. and the start of the camp<br />
day. In the afternoon, the bus run begins shortly<br />
after 4 p.m. and is finished by approximately<br />
4:45 p.m. The bus route runs in reverse at this<br />
time with the bus stops nearest to the <strong>JCC</strong><br />
dropped off shortly after 4 p.m. while the stops<br />
farther from the <strong>JCC</strong> are dropped off closer to<br />
4:45 p.m.<br />
Please note that pick-up and drop-off times<br />
may vary from week to week, with the gain or<br />
loss of other campers on the route. We will<br />
notify you the week prior to each session with<br />
the approximate pick up and drop off times.<br />
All routes end in the morning and begin in the<br />
afternoon at the <strong>JCC</strong>. Of course, you have the<br />
option of dropping off and/or picking up your<br />
camper(s). We will make every effort to keep<br />
the schedule running smoothly and on time.<br />

Think of our Nitzanim Day <strong>Camp</strong> as your<br />
traditional, all around summer day camp<br />
experience. It offers a little something for<br />
everyone and is ideally suited for first-time<br />
campers and younger campers who want to<br />
experience an exciting variety of activities.<br />
It is many of the specialty camps all rolled<br />
into one with an emphasis on weekly themes.<br />
Specialists lead activities in arts and crafts,<br />
sports and games, Israeli culture with a visiting<br />
Israeli scout 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 activities. Each<br />
week includes an off-site field trip. One day<br />
each week is supplemented with a field day<br />
with themed activities. Fridays are known as<br />
“Super Fridays” where campers create their<br />
own schedules and choose between traditional<br />
activities (sports, arts) and alternative<br />
activities (slip-and-slide, scavenger hunts,<br />
wacky water fun and more).<br />

Staff<br />
Experienced early childhood professionals from<br />
our school-year program and carefully selected<br />
college students staff our camp groups. These<br />
skilled, trained counselors care about children<br />
and 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 />

please come pick up your ECDP camper first by<br />
3:45 p.m.<br />
