Friendships...Confidence....Experience...
Our boys loved their summer at the Five Town's
JCC Camp!
They developed many friendships that extended
beyond camp.
The confidence and experience that both boys
gained last summer is remarkable.
They both have become fantastic swimmers. They
love all the sports, and they got to participate
in them daily. The weekly trip and late night
barbeques were special extras that put the
icing on the cake.
We highly recommend the Five Towns JCC Camp to
anyone looking for a rock solid camp for their
child.
- The Doyle's
Just wanted to tell you how much my son
enjoyed his experience at the JCC Summer
Camp last year. He was a very hesitant
swimmer going into the camp at the beginning
of the summer but by the end of the summer
we could not get him out of the pool at
home. This was the best learning experience
of his young life as it will be something he
will enjoy for the rest of his life. He
also enjoyed all the outside activities that
are provided especially the Nature
Activities. He had never been on an
overnight outing before and was a little
nervous, but he had such a fun time and the
counselors handled his fears with such
kindness and understanding that he can’t
wait until next year to go back.

stops are established. No additions can be made after
that date.
Transportation will be provided for all campers living

with seat belts and will not pull away until everyone is
seated with their seat belts fastened. Please be aware
that for safety and legal reasons, we are not able to
release your child to anyone without a written letter of
permission from a parent or guardian. If a friend or
relative is meeting your child’s bus, we must receive in

We cannot let your child off the bus without this. In
the event you are not home when your child’s bus
arrives, he/she will be taken to the JCC Building.

any camper involved. This policy includes all campers,
Teen Camp, and Counselors-In- Training participants. The
JCC’s decision is final.
15. Our camp staff all work extremely hard in caring for
your children. Their jobs require them to have extensive
responsibilities in the supervision and development of
your child so that they will have the very best camp
experience. Many parents have asked us about giving
gratuities (tipping) to staff. While this is certainly
optional, we feel that it is a very much appreciated
opportunity on your part to positively acknowledge their
efforts.
