Safety Even though our summer is filled with fun, safety is our number one priority. Our safety measures include: Red Cross-trained lifeguards and certified Water Safety Instructors leading instructional swim, continued application of sunscreen, regular water breaks, altered schedules on extremely hot days, and a certified EMT on staff for safety response. All staff members are CPR/First Aid-trained and are required to pass a background check. Inclusion and Support Services At Camp Hilbert and the Weinstein JCC, we are committed to meeting the needs of all our campers. To determine eligibility and to begin developing support strategies to help ensure your camper’s success at camp, a meeting with our Director of Inclusion and Support Services is required. Call Melissa Bunce at 545-8658 if you have questions or to schedule a meeting.
