ACTIVITIES

Social Skill Groups

Social skills groups offer an opportunity for youth with disabilities to practice their social skills with each other and/or typical peers on a regular basis through role playing, board games, and modeling.

Swimming

Marks JCH uses the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim curriculum. The program consists of six comprehensive levels that teach kids of all ages and abilities how to swim skillfully and safely. Each level includes training in basic water safety, and all aquatic and safety skills are taught in a logical progression.

Creative and Performing Arts

Children express themselves through art, music, and theater. Under the caring guidance of professional specialists children use the nature around them for artistic inspiration and variety of materials.

Yoga

Yoga – a mix yoga, creative art, mindfulness, and a whole lot of fun all together. An engaging and fulfilling experience for kids that helps regulate our bodies and feelings.

Sports

Focusing on developing and strengthening various athletic skills while being a good team-player. Soccer, basketball, kickball, Israeli gaga and zooball are some of the sports campers have to look forward to.

Cooking

Using fresh ingredients to prepare nutrient-rich healthy snacks, campers will use their hands and learn all about healthy eating habits.

Israeli Culture & Oneg Shabbat

Our program integrates unique aspects of our shared heritage and Israeli culture into camp life through an immersive, experiential curriculum. Israeli emissaries, schlichim who join us at camp bring Israeli life, culture, and Hebrew language to all campers. Campers experience weekly activities, Friday Shabbat celebrations, and special events.

FOOD IN CAMP

Marks JCH provides daily kosher lunch and 2 snacks. Yeladim also receives breakfast upon arrival. You can find a sample menu here. For children who prefer to bring their own food, a camp cooler is available. Please note that Marks JCH camp is peanut-aware but is NOT nut-free.
