WHAT IS THE CAMP’S MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY? We nurture a culture of curiosity, compas- sion, and celebration. Together, we build a camp family where every individual is valued and encouraged to thrive, explore, and make lasting memories. WHAT SAFETY MEASURES ARE IN PLACE? JCC Summer uses a check in and out sys- tem that gives our families unique codes for their children. This is also how the counselor checks attendance throughout the day. WHAT IS THE CAMPER-TO-COUNSELOR RATIO? We follow the State of Louisiana student to child ratio along with American Camp Association ratios. HOW ARE STAFF MEMBERS SCREENED AND TRAINED? All go through the same screening mea- sures as our Early Childhood Facility. (Background check, CPR/First Aid certified, and have received mandated reporter training).
