An Under the Sea Camp Experience
E
By Patty Torcellini, Early Child-
hood/Katan Program Supervisor
Camp Katan, the preschool
summer camp at the Sandra and
Leon Levine JCC, finished its
very successful six-week run on
Friday, July 31. It was a fun-filled
summer where campers had a
chance to grow, make new
friends, and create life long mem
ories.
Our preschoolers, all 186 of
them, had swimming lessons in
the Levine JCC’s amazing pools,
soaked their counselors on the
Splashground, saw a magic show
complete with magic wands and
flying tables, used their imagina
tions watching a puppet show, lis
tened to Ms. Linda’s stories in the
library, had science lessons with
Ms. Rachel, danced in music with
Ms. Lo, celebrated Shabbat with
Ms. Nancy, played on gymnastic
equipment, bounced and played in
the bouncy houses, had games and
sports in the gym with Coach D,
and so much more. I was amazed
by the creativity and nurturing of
the staff, most of who are local
preschool and CMS teachers. I
miss seeing the smiling faces in
my office, watching swim lessons
at the outdoor pool, and listening
to the two-year-old campers as I
roam the hallways during lunch
learning to say Flamotzi before
eating.
Thankfully the JCC is not just
a place for fun in the summer. It is
year round fun offering program
ming for all ages. I hope to see
many of my new little friends
around the JCC this year, building
upon their newfound swimming
capabilities with swim lessons
through our aquatics department,
celebrating holidays through our
fall and winter enrichment pro
grams, and continuing to grow in
our community. The excitement
of Camp Katan may have come to
a close, but the new and enriching
opportunities our community pro
vides for families carries on
throughout the year. I look for
ward to sharing many more great
experiences with all of you.
