Testimonials on Alternative Summer Experience at The Shaw JCC in Akron

“[The Camp Director’s] enthusiasm for the program, kids and staff shines through!  Despite the small numbers, I believe the volume this program speaks is invaluable. The J stands out amongst the other programs out there and our future will continue to thrive through this pandemic. Thanks for the continued efforts; keep up the healthy, fun work!” Andrea Minster, community member.
“Upon arrival, the staff has a mask and gloves on. Before the girls can even unbuckle from the car, Lyndsey takes their temperature with a touchless forehead thermometer. They are in very small groups for camp too. Each of my 3 kids are with a group of 4, which is much smaller than the less than 10 outlined. Since two of my kids are twins, they comprise 50% of their Alternative Summer Experience group!” Andrea Minster, community member.
If you are struggling with the daily boredom, whining, and attempts at creating some semblance of normalcy for your kids during this very unprecedented time in history, JCC’s Alternative Summer Experience has been a lifesaver.” Michelle Dickstein, mom of 3 kids attending camp.
