Here at the JCCNS, we believe that everyone is welcome and that includes our Summer at the J Camps. Our Special Needs Inclusion Program, led by our Inclusion Director, allows children of various ages, skills and abilities to have a positive camp experience. Our specially-trained staff work with children who have special needs to integrate them into KinderCamp, Camp Simchah, Simchah Specialty, and Summer at the J LIT programs. We are also proud to offer employment opportunities for teens and young adults with special needs to work at our camps.
