INCLUSION AT CAMP

CAMPERS

Our Inclusion Program is created so that campers with disabilities can receive individualized support while having their best summer ever at JCamps! This program is for children with learning, developmental, social, emotional, and/or physical disabilities. Depending on the need, campers will be paired 1:1 or 2:1 with an Inclusion Counselor who will provide ongoing support throughout the camp day! Inclusion campers will be integrated into a bunk of roughly 15 other campers for all camp activities.

The Inclusion Program is only available for Sessions A-D for Classic Camps (Chamudim, Noar, Kochavim, Giborim)! When filling out your camper application for your camper, please indicate your interest in the Inclusion Program when you apply. Spots are limited!

Safety is our number one priority at camp. Our goal is to ensure that your camper is set up for success. Once your camper application is completed, we will contact you to learn more about your child and ensure we can provide the level of support needed.

In addition, it is important to note that while our Inclusion staff are not therapists or licensed professionals, they are intentionally paired with campers that fit within their previous experience, temperament, and educational background. Inclusion Counselors receive pertinent training during orientation and have continuous supervision and guidance throughout the summer.
