J Camp: A summer tradition since 1952

The fine print

Please read the following notes before you complete your camper’s registration form.

Registrations are processed in the order they are received. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. LJCC family memberships must be in good standing and remain active throughout the entire camp session in order to receive member rates.

Registration, medical, and emergency contact forms MUST be completed for the registration to be processed. Learn more about membership here.

For the safety of our campers, enrollment cannot be expanded beyond capacity. Please register early to ensure your placement. There is a separate waitlist for each camp. You will be notified if a session is full and you are put on the waitlist. Slots are filled as space becomes available per camp. All programs are contingent upon minimum enrollment.

After you register, you will receive a link where you can complete all pertinent forms. Campers will not be able to attend unless forms are on file prior to the start of camp.

If a participant wishes to switch camps and space allows, we request a two-day notice prior to the beginning of the session. You are responsible for any price difference in the camps plus a $20 fee. A $20 fee is also charged when a camp is dropped four weeks before the camp begins. Refer to the Tuition and Deposits section (below) for more information about dropping and adding camps.

A $54 registration fee per child is due at the time of registration. The camp registration fee is non-refundable. Camp withdrawals or additions must be emailed to Tina Weldon at tweldon@bhamjcc.org. There is a $20 administrative fee for each drop/add form processed. You are responsible for any difference in price of the camps.

A full refund is given if notice is four or more weeks prior to start date, a 75 percent refund is given for three or more weeks, a 50 percent refund is given for two or more weeks, and a 25 percent refund is given for less than two weeks prior to start date. Once the camp session begins, no refund is given.

Payments for camps are due on the first of the month in which that camp occurs (i.e., payment for camps that take place in June will be drafted on June 1). If you register for camp after the first of the month in which that camp occurs, payment is due at time of registration.

If camp fees have not been paid and you drop a camp four weeks in advance, there is no charge; three weeks prior to the camp, 25 percent is due; two weeks or less, 50 percent is due; and if the camp is dropped the week of, the full amount. is due.

Camp fees may be paid by cash, checks made payable to the LJCC, or drafted from a credit card or back account (note that all card transactions will incur a three percent processing fee). Send your questions to camps@bhamjcc.org.

We support the inclusion of all children in camp. Camp is a place to learn, grow, and have fun.

J Camp does not have a nurse on staff, so we are not equipped to handle children who require assistance. If it is determined the camper needs the assistance of an aide, the parent is responsible for the cost of an aide. A conference between the parent and camp directors will determine if J Camp is the best place for the child. We encourage everybody to experience camp sometime in their life. We look forward to supporting you and your child to encourage a successful and fun-filled summer.

Each camper family will receive two carpool tags. Families are required to show these cards when picking up children. Pickup is at the Sokol Fitness Center entrance 3:30-3:45 p.m.

We offer before-camp and after-camp care where kids will continue to be well cared for in a safe, happy, meaningful, and enriching environment designed to help meet the needs of busy families.

You may choose before-camp care and/or after-camp care.

From 7 to 9 a.m., kids will be welcomed to the LJCC by counselors who will get them ready for a great day at camp. During our after-camp care, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. (fully supervised by our counselors), kids will have an opportunity to finish a project, play games or sports, or just relax after a fun day at camp. There will be a late pick-up fee of $1 per minute for each camper picked up after 5:30 p.m.

A kosher hot lunch is available Mondays-Thursdays for $6/day. The kosher lunch is provided through Bo’s Kosher Café. All lunches must be ordered directly from cafe owner Tara Barber using the lunch form, which can be found on the website, at the LJCC Welcome Desk, and at the Kosher Café. Camp LJCC directors, admins, and counselors are not responsible for the collection of lunch forms or payment.

All questions, lunch forms, and money should be directed to Tara Barber (205-960-1226).

Cheese pizza from a local vendor will be available for purchase every Friday at J Camp. Each lunch will contain two pieces of pizza, fruit, dessert, and water. The cost of the lunch is $6.

The LJCC reserves the right to photograph and videotape camp and sports activities for use inpublicity and promotional materials. If you do not want us to use your child’s image, simply send a note that includes your child’s name along with your child’s image to camp@bhamjcc.org.
