Forms FAQs

 


"We had a fantastic experience at J-Camp! The staff worked closely with me to ensure a good environment for my special needs son. Both my son and my daughter had a blast; they came home with big smiles every day, along with tons of arts and crafts projects and fun stories of activities with their new friends and amazing counselors. We highly recommend J-Camp!"
~ Erica, J-Camp Parent
