Everyone is Welcome at Camp
The Staenberg Omaha JCC welcomes diversity. Since our founding, we have welcomed campers of all backgrounds, regardless of race, faith, or national origin. We believe in teaching responsibility, cooperation, community, and service in a way that goes hand-in-hand with splashing in the pool and shouting a camp cheer. Jewish values and culture are integrated in a manner that appeals to parents and children of all faiths and backgrounds.
ACA Camp Accreditation
We are one of few day camps in Omaha to be accredited by the American Camp Association. Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally recognized accreditation focuses on program quality, health, safety, and risk management aspects of camp operations. Having accreditation means we adhere to the ACA’s strict standards. The ACA collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to assure that current camp practices reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards.
Professional Camp Staff
We carefully select camp staff by choosing individuals who provide campers with a positive experience. We recruit staff who possess leadership skills, enthusiasm, positivity, strong values, and creativity. All staff undergo background checks and drug testing. Staff also complete over 25 hours of training in creative programming, group dynamics, child development, conflict resolution, first aid, and CPR.
Health Forms
All health forms, waivers, and contact information will be managed through the PlayerSpace system. All forms will be handled online and will be accessible to parents starting March 4th. Completion of these forms is mandatory and MUST be completed prior to attending your first day of camp. Contact Jacob Geltzer at jgeltzer@jccomaha.org or at 402.334.6452.
