Enrollment for Children with Special Needs Staff
We offer an inclusive Early Childhood and Camp program for
children enrolled in our preschool/childcare program. Below is
the Camp Ganim procedure for children with special needs and/or
children receiving support services currently or at any time
prior to the start of camp (OT, PT, Speech, Hearing, Educational,
Behavioral, Counseling, Medical, etc.): Lily Ocasio, Camp Ganim Director
545-8615, preschool@weinsteinjcc.org
• The child must be enrolled in our Early Childhood program for the
2020-21 school year.
• Parents are required to share any evaluations, IEPs/IFSPs, treatment
plans and progress notes that will assist in determining strategies
and support for their child so that counselors will have an awareness
of each camper’s needs.
• Parents must contact Melissa Bunce, Director of Inclusion and
Support Services, at 545-8658 or mbunce@weinsteinjcc.org to
schedule a meeting to discuss if/how their child’s specific needs
can be met within our camp and school program.
