JCC sponsors Summer Food Service Program for Children

J-Camp at the Dwares JCC, a program of the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program for Children. This program is designed primarily to provide meals to children at our day camp from June 24 – Aug 27 2019. All campers are eligible to receive free meals while participating in the program.

J-Camp at the Dwares JCC is located at 401 Elmgrove Ave. in Providence. Our camp day runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Early arrival (8 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and extended day (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) programs are available.

Each week, campers participate in a variety of activities focused around specific themes. Campers are split into groups by age, allowing them to fill their days with exciting, age-appropriate activities and challenging opportunities to discover new interests, develop new skills and explore their surroundings. At times, all campers come together as a group to help build community. Camps starts each day outdoors on the fields, with a morning huddle to hear news and activities and to set the tone for the day. Campers also have the opportunity to come together as a whole during lunch.

Special programs are planned throughout the summer. Weekly schedules allow children to rotate through a variety of activities, including specialties many have grown to love. There are daily electives that allow campers to focus on a specific interest, with the number of elective periods varying by age.

Campers have swim lessons daily and the opportunity to choose free swim for one of their electives. Each week a special visitor conducts lessons and activities based on the week’s theme. The camp takes weekly field trips. Campers make challah for Shabbat every Friday.
