After-Camp Swim Lessons (Grades K - 5)

The award-winning Aquatic Concepts® program is now at the JCCSF! Voted "Best on Peninsula," the teaching method truly caters to the individual child. Learning progressive swim skills in small classes, students advance according to ability – no one is hurried or slowed down by the rest of the class. The
skills your child learns after camp this summer will transition seamlessly into ongoing JCCSF Swim School lessons throughout the year.

After-camp swim lessons are available to campers only on days they are attending camp. Campers must be enrolled in camp in order to enroll in and attend After-Camp swim lessons.

Monday – Thursday, June 14 – August 13

4:10 – 4:40 pm (available to all campers K -5 )*
4:45 – 5:15 pm (available only to campers in afternoon extended care)

Prices per week (4 lessons): M $87.50 • P $105.00

*A $10 fee to escort campers to and from the pool will be added to all registrants not enrolled in afternoon care.

Note: there are no swim lessons week of 6/7 - 6/11.

Conduct and Other Camp Policies

We want our camps to be a fun, positive and safe experience for all campers. We expect all campers and parents to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner and to support our efforts to achieve this goal, including honoring camp policies. Accordingly, the JCCSF reserves the right to suspend or dismiss your child from the summer camp program if the JCCSF concludes in its sole discretion that your child's or your conduct is disruptive to the summer camp program.

No refunds or reduction in fees are issued for days missed due to suspension or dismissal.

Additional camp policies are set forth in the Parent Manual to be posted in early June.

Financial Assistance

The JCCSF strives to make its programs accessible to individuals and families from all backgrounds. In addition to financial assistance from the JCCSF, made possible by our generous supporters, the Bureau of Jewish Education administers a program of supplemental funding to qualified families on behalf of the Community Jewish Day Camp Scholarship Fund of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund.

We strongly encourage families to submit completed applications with all required documents by
April 1, 2010.

Applications received after April 1, 2010 will be considered only if funds remain available.

For additional information, please call the Camp Office at 415.292.1250.
