FAQ
Q:  Do you have to be a JCC member? 
A: No, but membership does have its privileges with
    member discounts.  You can save up to $25 per
    week on your child (ren)’s summer camp experience
    by becoming a member today. Call Membership
    Services at 314-432-5700 today.

Q: Do you have to be Jewish to attend? 
A:  No.  The JCC is an inclusive environment that promotes diversity.  Campers of all backgrounds are
     welcomed regardless of race, religion, or national origin.  JCC day camps instill a sense of community
     and connection to Jewish culture, values and history.

Q: When should I register?
A: Because this is one of St. Louis’ premier outdoor
    summer day camp programs, we encourage all
    families to register as soon as possible since space is
    limited in each camp program. Register by Sunday,
    February 3 and get 2007 prices.

Q: Is there a sibling discount?
A: Yes.  When enrolling more than one child for more
    than 3 weeks of camp, you will receive a $36
    discount off the second (third, fourth, etc.) child’s
    enrollment.  When enrolling more than one child
    for six weeks of camp or more, you will receive a $72
    discount off the second (third, fourth etc.) child’s
    enrollment.

Q: What hours are camps open?
A: The regular camp day is from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm,
    Monday through Friday unless otherwise noted.
    However because many of our campers have working
    parents, the JCC has a before and after-camp
    program.

Q:  Are there extended hours for working parents?
A: Yes.  Starting as early as 7:00 am (Early Birds) and
    ending as late as 6:00 pm (Afternoon Adventures),
    the JCC has an Extended Camp Day program. This
    working parent solution gives you peace of mind
    but also gives your child structured camp activities
    including daily snacks and additional swim time on
    some days.

A:  Contact Amy Shannon at 314-442-3432. Special
     request may incur additional fees.

    members on a limited basis.  Requests must be
