JCC SUMMER CAMPS WHEN ONLY THE BEST WILL DO FOR YOUR CHILD At the Jewish Community Center's Summer Camps, we have a long history of enriching our community's young people through stimulating and nurturing day camp programming. Over the past several years, the staff and lay leadership of the camps have been determined to provide your child with the best of everything: counseling and administrative staff, program choices which meet the unique needs and interests of today's youth, a safe and nurturing envi- ronment, personal growth through skill development and the warmth of new and long term friendships. We have undertaken intensive internal and exter- nal reviews, listened to parental and camper feedback, visited camps nation- wide, and invested time and resources into the enhancement of our camping program. IT HAS PAID OFF! This past summer, the American Camping Association (ACA) accredited our JCC Summer Camps. We couldn't have asked for more... your child deserves to attend a camp which has attained the levels of excellence required by this association, which sets the standards for camps throughout the nation. We voluntarily allowed our practices to be compared with the standards estab- lished by professionals in the camping industry and exceeded all expectations in the areas of program quality, and the health and safety of campers and staff ... the things that matter most to all of us. JCC Summer Camps were rated outstanding in all areas, including facility, administration, transporta- tion, personnel, programming, health care, and activities. We've worked hard to earn your trust and confidence and are proud to provide summers of exhil- aration, happiness, community-building and friendship for our community's children, from preschoolers through teens. The summer of 1999 offers more selections in four-week and one-week camps, providing your child with the care and enrichment he or she deserves from the time school lets out until the week school resumes. We know you count on us and we continue to be proud and happy to plan your child's sum- mer of fun!
