Letter from the Camp Director We are excited for your children to spend the summer with us. We've been working hard throughout the year to make sure your children have an amazing summer camp experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives! Over the years, the Alper JCC Summer Camp has enriched the lives of thousands of children and teens guided by the principles of safety, fun, discovery, friendship and values. We are part of an all-inclusive Jewish Community Center that celebrates diversity and a place where children of all backgrounds can grow, learn and embrace the Jewish culture. We aim to impact the lives of children with quality programs in a creative, supportive, and safe atmosphere, enabling all children to reach their fullest potential.

Our staff and counselors create an environment of magical and unforgettable experiences for all campers. Staff are carefully chosen and trained in group dynamics, child development, building self-esteem and peer relationships. All staff are required to attend pre-camp trainings that emphasize children's safety and well-being and stress the importance of their role in enriching each campers experience. We provide a community setting where children from infants through ninth grade will develop self-confidence and master new skills, while making lifelong friendships. Your children will have a summer they’ll never forget at the Alper JCC . Shalom and Happy Camping, Elyse Molk, Camp Director

Authorization For Emergency Medical/Surgical Treatment

It is the firm hope that the authorization granted on this form will never have to be used. For the safety of your child, however, sound medical practice calls for such authorization. In emergency situations where, for some reason, the parent of the child cannot be contacted immediately, this form may become extremely important. The authorization granted by this form will be used only where absolutely necessary and only after every attempt has been made to contact the parent. Doctors and hospitals refuse to give any treatment, regardless of how minor, unless they have authorization from the parent. I UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE EVENT I CANNOT BE REACHED, I HEREBY GRANT PERMISSION TO THE PHYSICIAN OR HOSPITAL SELECTED BY THE CAMP ADMINISTRATION TO SECURE PROPER TREATMENT FOR, ORDER INJECTION, ANESTHETIC, OR PERFORM SURGERY ON MY CHILD. I HEREBY GIVE PERMISSION OR ARRANGE NECESSARY TRANSPORTATION TO A HOSPITAL.
