General Information
At the Mittleman Jewish Community Center, we provide quality programs that are age-appropriate, fun, and safe for rising kindergarten through 10th grade. Our camp is imbued with a sense of Simcha (joy), Kehila (community), Ruach (spirit), and Kef (fun). Throughout all of our programs, we encourage discovery and self-expression. The MJCC welcomes everyone, regardless of religious affiliation.
Safety
Just as we did last summer, we are working diligently to ensure the best experience possible for campers during the upcoming summer. Prioritizing the health and safety of our campers, families, and staff members is our top priority. This summer, we will again adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Oregon Health Authority in regards to the programming that we will be permitted to offer.
Though summer 2021 state guidelines are in the process of being finalized, we expect that camp will run in a similar fashion as last summer with enhanced safety and disinfecting procedures, stable groups, and physical distancing. Our program will continue to expand throughout the summer as guidelines evolve. We are proud that our 2020 summer ran for ten weeks with zero reported COVID cases due to our diligent efforts.

Flexible Cancellations + Refund Policy
Register early and reserve your child’s spot in camp without the risk. If you must cancel camp for Covid related concerns, you may do so with a 100% refund. For non-Covid related cancellations, there will be a $25 processing fee per child per camp. Non-Covid cancellations made within 14 days of the start of camp cannot be refunded.
MJCC Day Camp reserves the right to cancel camp programs due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances. Should cancellations occur, Day Camp staff will contact the parents/guardians prior to the camp and refunds or transfers will be given. MJCC Day Camp also reserves the right to dismiss a camper whose behavior violates our Behavior Agreement, in which case no refund is given. The Behavior Agreement can be found in the MJCC Parent Handbook that is emailed to all camper families. Please review the behavior agreement with your camper.

It takes a great staff to make a great camp.
It takes a great staff to make a great camp. We carefully screen and interview candidates to ensure that we hire staff who are committed, hardworking, enthusiastic role models for kids.
All of our staff undergo a criminal background check and are certified in First Aid and CPR. All camp staff participate in our intensive, multi-day staff training. Many of our camp staff return to us year after year, and our campers are excited to see their favorite counselors each summer.
