JCC Mid-Westchester is a community of enrichment, culture, education, and recreational programs. The establishment enriches families, connects friends and strengthens the community. With a plethora of different programs such as Summer Camp, Dancin’ & Prancin’, swimming, gymnastics and so much more, there is surely something for everyone whether you are looking for a program for your child, teen or for yourself. We were fortunate to be able to enroll in their Dancin’ & Prancin’ class for Winter break where my daughter got to enjoy the JCC experience.
The staff is so welcoming and friendly, greeting the children at the door as they are ready to start their fun filled day at camp. The JCC takes all Covid safety regulations seriously for both members and faculty. They did daily health screenings and temperature checks, and had hand sanitizer readily available. In accordance with the guidance from February, they mandated mask wearing. They care for the community, and it shows!
My daughter had the pleasure of joining the Dancin’ and Prancin’ camp with her fellow 3- and 4-year-olds. She spent the day dancing with her friends, doing arts and crafts, socializing over snack time, and enjoying story time at the JCC. Her favorite story was naturally Angelina Ballerina as they thoughtfully stayed within the dancin’ theme. This was a great way for the children to get their energy out, socialize with their peers and continue learning. It is so important to not only keep them engaged but to provide meaningful structure and the JCC did just that.
There are plenty of options at the J depending on your child’s age. Some of the many camps they have are Summer Days At The J, Summer Dance Intensives, Swim classes, Gymnastic Ninja Adventures and Sandbox Theatre Drama Camp. There is so much fun packed into each group!
Summer Days At The J is their traditional day camp where 3-year-olds to 4th graders can engage in activities such as gardening, music, arts & crafts, nature & science, sports and splash in the pool! So many exciting activities your children can enjoy! The JCC registration is now open for their Summer programs. The classes are filling up quickly, so be sure to grab your spot!
