Serving up food at J-Camp

J-Camp at the Dwares JCC, a program of the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, is a sponsor of the Summer Food Service Program for Children.  This program is designed primarily to provide meals to children at the day camp through Aug. 21.  All campers are eligible to receive free meals while participating in the program.

J-Camp at the Dwares JCC, at 401 Elmgrove Ave., Providence, runs from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.  Early arrival (8-9 a.m.) and extended day (4-6 p.m.) are available.

Each week, campers participate in a variety of activities focused around specific themes.  Campers are divided into groups by age, allowing them to fill their days with exciting, appropriate activities and challenging opportunities to discover new interests, develop new skills and explore their surroundings.

There  are  times when all campers are together as a group to help build community. The day starts outside on the fields with a morning huddle to hear news and activities and to set the tone for the day. Campers will also have the opportunity to be together during lunch and special programs planned throughout the summer.

Limited space is available for the final weeks of camp. Camp prices vary and financial aid is available. Sibling discounts are offered and DHS is accepted.
