Children Grow from
Year to Year. Our Camps
Grow with Them!
■ For 60 years, we have been inspiring children
with daily adventures. In addition to providing
non-stop fun, we also believe that camp is a place
for children to learn more about themselves, make
friends and explore their personal interests. It’s a place for them to
develop and grow.
■ We feature an exciting variety of camp options, including specialty
camps in sports, drama, music and more. Some take place before
and after our sensational 8-week day camp and others run
simultaneously, giving you the option to mix and match. There’s
something for every child of every age for every summer of
childhood.
■ Find the perfect program for your child and
become a part of our FUNtastic JCC family.
At the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades, we believe that camp
should give your children more than happy memories.
We believe that camp should provide a foundation for their
future, help shape their lives, and grow and change as your
children grow and change.

Neil Klatskin Day Camp
We know
you want to
give your child the
best summer ever...
So do we!
Our Partnership with Parents
Our goal as a quality camp for children is to encourage every child to
discover their best potential and to enable you, as parents, to watch
your child grow and learn with their camp experience.
The Neil Klatskin Day Camp takes pride in offering a dynamic program that
makes children feel loved and accepted, and at the same time, encourages
them to challenge themselves to achieve new things. To ensure that parents
gain a real sense of what we are trying to achieve, we make communication a
top priority. You receive weekly newsletters to inform you about important
camp activities, Camp-O-Grams to inform you about your child’s personal
progress, and Splash-O-Grams to inform you about your child’s swim progress.
In addition, if you ever have questions or concerns, our professional staff is
always eager to help.
Safety is Our First Priority
We are proud to be accredited by the American Camp
Association (ACA). ACA Accreditation means that our camp meets the over
300 stringent health, safety, programming and human resources standards
set forth by the American Camp Association. (For more information about ACA
Accreditation, click on the ACA logo on our website www.jccotp.org/nkdc)
Our Terrific Staff
A camp program is only as good as its staff, so we recruit counselors who
inspire our campers by serving as personal coaches, supporters and role
models. Equally important, are the relationships our counselors build with
each and every child. Many counselors return year after year, providing
campers with continuity in care and expertise. All counselors undergo a
rigorous orientation and in-service training program designed to help
them be the best they can be. Our program directors, unit leaders, head
counselors and specialists are all professional educators who mentor and
supervise counselors and, serve as direct parent liaisons who are available
for consultations upon your request.
The Neil Klatskin Day Camp
“I’m having the time of my life.”
Adventurous Activities
Non-stop fun is our goal, but the real adventure is giving every camper the
chance to explore new things and grow with their experiences. To make this
happen, we keep adding new activities as campers get older. Our exciting
programs are age appropriate and designed to keep your child physically and
mentally active as they grow and change.
Our FUNtastic Facilities
Our camp is located on the JCC’s 21-acre park-like property with state-of-theart indoor and outdoor resources. Outdoor facilities include three heated pools,
soccer and softball fields, basketball, sand volleyball and tennis courts, nature
trails, a low challenge course, four pavilions, outdoor stage, playgrounds and
wide open space for physical activities.
Indoor facilities include air-conditioned multi-purpose rooms, separate
boys’ and girls’ changing rooms with individual cubbies, first-aid center with
registered nurse, and kosher, nut aware, kitchen. Campers also utilize the
JCC main facility, including indoor pool, racquetball courts, gymnasiums,
theater and more. (See inside panel for Yomi and Yomi Seniors’ facilities).
Exciting Activities in a Nurturing Jewish Environment.
Children participate in age-appropriate activities that encourage them to
bond, make new friends and increase their self-confidence. Activities include
arts and crafts, athletics, daily Red Cross instructional and recreational swim,
Israeli culture, Judaic programming, challenge course, drama, music,
Tae Kwon Do, roller racers, sports, yoga, kiddie cars, exciting entertainment,
awesome carnivals, Israel day, Mitzvah day, trips (Gesher and Yomi Seniors),
special theme days, and more! Four, six, seven or eight-week options available.
It’s fun to be Jewish!
Fun is what we’re all about and while your children are busy enjoying their
summer, they are also exposed to ideas and values that help shape their
Jewish identity. Our Israeli Culture specialists are Schlichim (Israeli
counselors) who work closely with campers to offer dynamic programs that
add a Jewish flavor to everyday activities including introducing new Hebrew
words each day and learning about Israeli customs and traditions. Each
Friday we all come together as one big camp mishpacha (family) for our
Oneg Shabbat celebration and Sing-a-long. Then we send each child home
with a challah to celebrate the Sabbath with their real family.

Endowment Opportunities
A tax-deductible gift of $10,000 or more can establish a
personal endowment fund at the Kaplen JCC on the
Palisades that can be named in memory or honor of a
loved one. The fund can then be earmarked for a favorite
service or activity of your choice. The principal is never
expended, but the income generated from the fund allows
the JCC to provide vital and important services. Below is
a list of endowments established for our day camps:
Andrew P. Beck Memorial Fund for Environmental
Education

Health & Safety
The health, safety and welfare of our campers are our top
priorities. A registered nurse is on the premises and we
maintain an ongoing relationship with a local pediatric
practice and hospital. In addition, the camp employs
several emergency medical technicians and is staffed with
numerous counselors who possess CPR and First Aid
Certification. Red Cross Certified Lifeguards and Water
Safety Instructors supervise our swim program.
Financial Assistance
The JCC makes every effort to ensure that children are
not denied enrollment in summer camp due to the
inability of the family to pay the full fee. You may contact
the Membership Office at 201.408.1448 or the day camp
office at 201.567.8963 for an application. Applications are
due no later than March 2, 2012.
