What it reported doing in 2024

Camp: the jcc provides the children of the south broward community with a unique jewish summer camp experience. Located on the jcc's 40-acre campus, seven separate camp programs combine to create the camp kadima program. Camp kadima enables children ages 2-14 to build self-confidence and socialization skills within a safe environment. Camp was 39 days. These camps, with their individualized mission statements, are as follows: 1. Camp k'ton ton - for boys and girls of ages 2-4: children will experience a summer filled with fun, friendship and jewish tradition in a safe and nurturing environment. By participating in developmentally, age-appropriate activities, the child will have the opportunity to explore and interact while building a sense of confidence, competence and self-esteem. Most activities for this age group are held on-site on the jcc campus. Jsprouts offers an eight-week, half day option for ages 2, 3, and 4. The jcc's dynamic, standardized swim program, created for the preschooler, promotes water safety and swimming readiness skills, as well as fun and enjoyment in the water. The swimming program is conducted on the jcc's on-site pools. 2. Camp jkids - for boys and girls entering kindergarten: children in jkids will enjoy a summer filled with activities, keeping these young campers entertained, enthusiastic, creative and energized all summer long. This program is an exciting transition that keeps the warmth and security of the preschool experience, while providing new opportunities for the expanding abilities of the 5 year old child. Most activities, including swimming in our on-site pools, are held on the jcc campus. Children also enjoy field trips on air-conditioned buses to local attractions. 3. Adventure camp & premier camps - for boys and girls in grades 1-5: adventure camp combines friendship, character building, fun and jewish tradition. Children will join in the camp spirit and gain a sense of belonging while developing new skills in a myriad of activities. Children swim on-site, learning swimming skills and water safety, while enjoying the water. All campers enjoy field trips, maccabiah games, zimriah (songfest), and special events including a carnival and a camp wide mitzvah project. 4. Camp extreme adventure - for boys and girls in grades 6-8: extreme offers teens with special field trips, team building opportunities, drama, music, art and sports galore. 5. Leaders in training (lit) program - for boys and girls in grade 9: this program is the first level in the transition from camper to counselor. During part of each, the young teens work side-by-side with experienced counselors and specialists, training to be future camp kadima staff members. Activities include planning a camp-wide mitzvah project and weekly shabbat projects. Training includes a mandatory training session and continues with weekly sessions facilitated by a professional staff member. 6. Counselors in training (cit) program - for boys and girls in grade 10: this counselor-in-training program is a stepping-stone that leads to the next level, the position of junior camp kadima staff member. Cits participate in all camp activities, working side-by-side with a junior and senior counselor, learning to be part of a team. 7. Camp giborim - for boys and girls of ages 3-21: camp giborim is a special needs camp that serves children and young adults who have autism, learning disabilities, developmental delays, emotional and physical handicaps in a nurturing environment filled with innovative activities.
