When schools close for winter and spring breaks and other federal holidays, Camp JCC School Days Out is the fun place to be for campers and a convenient and flexible option for parents.
Registration was available for individual days, 5- and 10-day bundles, and for the entire school year. Since many school calendars are not aligned with each other, each registration option was utilized by multiple families over the course of the school year.
Camp JCC School Days Out concluded programming for the 2024-2025 school year with another successful spring break camp. Covering one week of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Strelitz International Academy school closures during Passover, April 14 – 18, campers enjoyed spring themed crafts, indoor and outdoor games, STEM projects, free swim with new and old friends, and more.
The ability to customize schedules has been popular for families. Along with each registration option, families utilized newly established payment plans for Camp JCC School Days Out. With these options and additions, Camp JCC School Days Out has seen significant increases in enrollment, with both individuals participating and days attending, over the past three school years. For the recently completed 2024-2025 school year, Camp JCC School Days Out enrollment and attendance surpassed the previous year’s total.
More than just a summer camp, Camp JCC successfully engages campers and serves Tidewater families all year round.
