There are a lot of factors that go into choosing a summer day camp for your kids. Dates of operation and flexibility in scheduling, location, proximity to home, and amenities are some of them. Even then, a number of camps will still look great on paper so it helps to hear the opinion of other parents and families. Here’s what families are saying about the Neil Klatskin Summer Camps at Kaplen JCC on the Palisades:
“Our kids rave about Neil Klatskin Camps all summer long and it thrills me to witness their enthusiasm and observe their growth from year to year. Our youngest is in the day camp and our older 2 have graduated into specialty camps that work around their sleep away plans. We can’t wait for our one-year-old, to join her siblings, so all 4 kids can have amazing experiences they’ll remember all their lives.”
“I found that the JCC’s Neil Klatskin Summer Camp truly provides that extra something you rarely see these days – a perfect blend of amazing facilities, exciting programs, caring counselors, and a dedication to important values that keep us coming back year after year.”
“What makes the JCC’s camp so special is the people, the energy, the offerings and the investment everyone there makes in helping each child discover their personal talents and identities. Everyone on staff goes the extra mile. They listen; they encourage feedback; and they do whatever it takes to make the experience work for both you and your kids. That’s pretty unique and why it has been the right choice for us and for so many others. I’d tell anyone searching for a great camp experience to look no further!”
The JCC’s Neil Klatskin Summer camps include day camps for kids ages 3 – 7 years and then specialty camps for kids 8 and up. Camp offerings include Red Cross instructional swim and Hebrew immersion offerings. Specialty camps include options in fine arts, STEM, Big Idea Hi-Tech, Sports Plus!, Dance Intensive, Center Stage Musical Theater, Broadway Showtime, and comedic cabaret. All camps run 9 am-4 pm, offer extended day options, bussing, lunch, snacks, and towel service!
Summer camp is held on the beautiful JCC campus with access to all the amenities the facility offers. New (and super exciting!) for this year – all JCC camps are open to the public. So whether you are a member of the JCC or not, you can have access to what has been described by your fellow parents as, “hands down, the best camp in the area!”
