School’s Out and Preschool’s Out Camp

Get ready for the 2026-2027 school year!

REGISTRATION OPEN FOR MEMBERS: Sunday August 9, 2pm
REGISTRATION OPENS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC: Monday August 17, 10am

School’s Out (K-5th grade) and Preschool’s Out Camp (ages 4-5) offers the fun of Camp Shelanu year-round for children age 4 through 5th grade. Activities may include sports, games, crafts, cooking, playground time, aerial silks, nature, and more. Preschoolers will also have a rest/nap time after lunch.

Please note that Preschool’s Out Camp is only available on selected dates and participants must be potty trained.

Camp Day: 8:25am – 3:15 pm

Cost:

  • School’s Out Camp: $75/day (Members) / $90/day (Guests)

  • Preschool’s Out Camp: $85/day (Members) / $100/day (Guests)

Extended Care: 7:45am - 8:25am and 3:45pm -5:30pm

Extended Care Cost: $20/day (Members) / $25/day (Guests)

In addition to this schedule, we may also open a Snow Day Camp when schools are closed for inclement weather but the roads are safe and the JCC is open.  Hours will depend on when the building can open safely and cost depends on hours. Please be aware that there is no guarantee we will be able to offer camp every time schools are closed.

To register or see availability for camp dates, please visit our registration page and choose the School’s Out Camps category. You can also search for School’s Out Camp. If camp is full we ask you to sign up for the waitlist.  We will contact you to let you know if a space is available and you will have a window of time in which to register before we move to the next person on the waitlist.  Advanced notice of at least 7 business days is required for refunds. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. No refunds are given for missed days due to illness.

For your child’s School’s Out day they will need:

  • Lunch and two snacks following our kashrut guidelines; anyone staying for After Care will want to bring an additional snack

  • Water bottle

  • Closed-toed shoes

  • Layers for outdoor time

  • Preschoolers: change of clothes (required!) and nap items (optional)
