Summer Camping Programs at the JCC By Scott Snyder, Program Director With spring here in all its glory, can summer and aU the happy sounds of children at play be too far behind? We are aU eagerly awaiting June 13. What happens on the 13th of June? Why, the first day of summer camp! The JCC’s eight camping progn*ams offer a wonderful combination of activities and positive, fun-filled camping ex perience to enhance each child’s summer and make it a special memory in his/her life. At the JCC, we believe we have the ingredients to meike your child’s camping experi ence one of the most mean ingful experiences possible. It is an unforgettable opportuni ty where each day is ^ed with a variety of activities, good feelings of friendship, enthu siasm and adventure. The JCC in Charlotte has been involved with summer camp programs for many years and its reputation for providing children with positive camping experiences is well known. The fact that these experiences occur within a Jewish environment adds to making our camping pro grams more successful. What about our staff? Quali ty camps mean highly quali fied individuals who provide expert leadership, guidance and friendship. Our camp staff aids yoimgsters in continued development of both skill ac quisition and social/personal growth. In addition to maturi ty, skills and camp experience, our staff is chosen for their genuine love for children. Preschool and Elementary Camps Our Camp Katan (Pre- School) and Camp Maccabee (Elementary) programs are designed to help young children gain and begin to develop self-respect and self- confidence in themselves. In addition, they leam to work and play at their individual and collective best. Campers in these two pro grams explore a wide variety of activities including swim ming, late nights and over nights, arts and crafts, dra matics, cookouts, Judaic awareness, Israeli singing and dancing, sports, field trips and much, much more. If you are a sports fanatic, then Camp Ruach (4th-6th grades) is just what you’ve been looking for. This program is designed for young “jocks” and “jockettes” who are in terest^ in improving their skills and strategy through teamwork and cooperation in a variety of sports. Instruc tional sessions in tennis, soc cer, basketball and softball complemented by swimming, trips and camp-wide programs J Closed for Shavuoth May 22 — all day May 23 — all day round out the day. For all of you young creative artists, how about the J’s very own Camp Keshet, also avail able for grades 4th-6th. This very unique summer program offers each camper the oppor tunity to nurture his/her creativity. Whether it is graphic and visual arts, drama and related activities, or music, dance and art, your child will be immersed in the session of his/her choice. Our instructors will provide the in spiration and expertise for these youngsters to explore their creative potential. As your child begins to grow, interests begin to change and so do our pro grams. Our very exciting Teen Travel Camp is available for 7th-9th graders. This summer our “travel camp on wheels” will roll down the highways once again to such places as Myrtle Beach, Asheboro Zoo, Lake Norman, Carowinds, Horseback Riding and other exciting daytime trips. Over night trips include Nashville, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. New Camp Programs New this summer to our slate of programs is Chaverim and Teen Computer Camps and Leaders In Training (L.I.T.) program. Our com puter camps offer children and teens the opportunity to leam how to program and play a real computer. Instruction at your own level by qualified in structors will assist you in developing your own pro grams and creative games. Swimming, sports, cookouts, overnights and other tradi- tioned camp activities round out the day. The L.I.T. pro gram emphasizes the develop ment of camp skills, leadership training, Jewish programming and the dynamics of working with groups and individuals as well as personal growth. Parti cipants will observe and aid camp groups on a daily basis. An emphasis on advanced craft development, sports in struction and advanced life- saving are key components to the program. Last year hundreds of chil dren participated in our cam ping programs and shared in the enthusiasm, spirit and ex citement of many special ac tivities and day-to-day hap penings. This summer should and will be even more wonder ful and beneficial for your youngster. We have put a great deal of time and effort into our camping programs to help ensure that your child has one of the most meaningful summers in his/her young life.
