Security and Safety
Camper safety is of utmost importance at Camp JCC. We have ensured that our security—in the building, on the grounds, and in the pool—meets or exceeds all standards. Even still, the JCC has instituted a number of additional security measures to secure the building and grounds. The size, quality and training of our “camptacular” staff reflect our concern. Many of our staff members have First Aid certification and CPR training specifically for children. We provide a fully staffed Health Center with a Registered Head Nurse and additional staff. Camp staff augments the pool supervision of full-time lifeguards. Multiple daily safety checks are made throughout the facility. Staff members and volunteers at Camp JCC have had a criminal background check completed by the Maryland State Police and the FBI. In addition, we have outside experts/consultants review our procedures to ensure we provide the safest camp experience possible.
