Welcome to the Jookender Summer Day Camp 2023! Can’t believe we’re almost there! This year, the camp is going to be really unforgettable!
Jookender provides fun-filled, exciting and innovative summer programs that are rich with activities and grounded in Russian-Ukrainian-Jewish traditions. Our flexible activities and academic environment, both make for all-compassing experience. Our Expert staff recognizes each campers’ strengths to support the growth of our younger campers while building character in our older ones. Campers thrive in our structured environment complete with small groups, daily routines, and a consistent learning program. We believe that children of various ages can play and learn happily together in a friendly, non-judging environment. After some thoughts, we've decided not to divide a group by ages, but rather make our group smaller. Our goal is to have only 10-14 children each week playing and learning new stuff together, helping each other, creating a unique atmosphere, work on their teamwork and leadership skills from the early ages.
Lunch is provided by Natalia Goldfain Catering service. Gluten FREE option will be included, if you mention it in the registration form. Please, mention all other diets and allergies in the "Any allergies and special accommodations" field, so we are able to honor them. We generally cook without Nuts, however, we’re NOT a nut-free facility. We will always have a lactose-free milk in addition to regular milk, water, and juices. For snacks, we will always have organic fruits, yogurts, drinks, and chips. However, you’re welcome to bring your own food.
We will be inviting animal shows visiting us, so keep this in mind if your child is allergic to animals.
We’re not an accredited camp and don’t have an RN on premises. If your children are not feeling well, extremely homesick, or don’t behave properly, they will be sent back home. If your child has any severe allergy, for anything - please, provide us with an epi-pen for this child. It's your responsibility to provide one, as well, as letting us know about any such situation. In the last week before the camp starts please, scan both sides of your child's medical card insurance and dental insurance (if any) and email this info to us jookender@gmail.com

Each sibling always gets $50 p/week discount on top of all other discounts.
100% - until April 30, 2023
50% - May 1 - June 20, 2023
After June 20th, you may change weeks for your child, but no refund is provided.
If your child Tested Positive for COVID-19, and the proof is provided, you may switch your child to another week during the same Summer 2023. If your child tested positive at the very last week of our programming, then we will issue a credit for the amount paid, that is good to apply for other programs during the year. No cash refunds will be made.
You may choose one or more weeks for your camper. The discount for multiple weeks will be automatically calculated, and the weeks don’t have to be in the consecutive order. Siblings always get a $50 discount for each week, in addition to the early bird special. A 3-day short week version doesn’t fall into an early bird special and does not count toward multiple week discount. However, Sibling discount is still honored.
