Any changes or requests do need to be in writing — no exceptions—for example, early pick-ups, going home with another camper, or a change to their bus schedule. Sending a note with your camper will work, however, we’d prefer if you e-mailed the camp office so we can be assured that the message gets to us.
To access and fill out your required camp forms:

Please pack a healthy lunch. Remember to send dairy or pareve foods, as we have a no meat or shellfish policy. This means no meat, poultry, or pork products. Cheese, yogurt, tuna, sunbutter and jelly sandwiches, vegetable soups, and pasta are fine. Lunches will be kept in a cool place, not refrigerated. A snack and iced water are provided.
Please label all belongings sent to camp with your camper’s first and last name, including the clothing your camper wears to camp.
We are both American Camping Association (ACA) and National Inclusion Project (NIP) accredited which means that our camp has undergone a thorough (up to 300 standards) review of operation — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. ACA collaborates with experts from American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to ensure that current practices reflect the most up-to-date research-based standards in camp operation. NIP Accreditation is one of the country’s gold standard inclusive recreation providers! The NIP recognizes camps that meet the highest standards of inclusion. We are inclusive, in mission, design and practice and Camp Jaycee serves as a model summer camp welcoming and serving children of all abilities.
For further questions please contact Molly Mattaini, Inclusion Specialist: mollym@lfjcc.org
