JCamp at Westside JCC is commi�ed to crea�ng an environment where all campers have the opportunity to learn, grow and try new things. We have chosen five values that lay the founda�on upon which we build our program, schedule and community.

Community/Kehillah/ קהילה: Building meaningful rela�onships creates stronger individuals, lifelong friendships, and an ongoing sense of belonging.

Joy/Rinah/ רינה: We take seriously the mitzvah (commandment) of increasing joy in life. We aim to bring joy to ourselves, our community, and everyone in our lives.

Crea�vity/Yetzirah/ יצירה: We construct a safe space for exploring, challenging ourselves and cul�va�ng our talents.

Respect/Kavod/ כבוד: Designing a space where everyone can be themselves by trea�ng everyone with kindness and compassion.

Growth/Gedilah/ גדילה: Learning through experience builds confidence in our abili�es and teaches us that growing up is truly about discovering our highest poten�al.

The JCamp values are extremely important to camp and are reflected in all that we do. We use them as a framework for explaining the rules, a means for discussing how we build rela�onships and a teaching tool to be�er ourselves. We try to emphasize the importance of these values through our JCamp values awards. These are awards given out to five to ten campers each week at our Shabbat Celebra�on. Our counselors and specialists have the opportunity to nominate campers that have truly exemplified a JCamp value and the awards are handed out. It is not an award that every camper will win and we believe it is a great tool for reinforcing great behavior and an opportunity to recognize campers who may be overlooked in other ways.

COVID19 Enhanced Health and Safety Protocols  

What does this mean for the WJCC Programs? JCamp is implemen�ng all measures outlined by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health. Including but not limited to physical distancing, infec�on control, communica�on and equitable access measures, as outlined in Reopening Protocols for Day Camps: Appendix K. JCamp Illness, Hygiene, & Physical Distancing Expecta�ons As a condi�on of enrollment, families must agree to all of our illness, hygiene, and physical distancing expecta�ons without excep�on. Failure to meet these expecta�ons is grounds for immediate disenrollment.

● Maintain sensible, prac�cal physical distancing. ● No large gatherings, birthday par�es, or social events. ● Minimize �me outside of home like trips to the store. ● Wash hands thoroughly when entering and leaving home and throughout the day. ● Wear a mask when outside the home. ● Avoid touching your face. ● Avoid travel. If anyone in the household travels out-of-state or travels anywhere by plane,

boat, or train, your camper must remain home for 12 days a�er returning. ● Monitor yourself and those in your home for signs of illness. If you or your camper is sick, stay

home and keep your camper home. This is not the moment to ignore symptoms. ● Communicate openly and immediately with JCAMP about any illness or poten�al exposure.

We pledge to protect privacy as much as is prac�cal but we must know about any poten�al exposure or illness in order to protect everyone.

● Stay off campus and seek medical care promptly if you have any symptoms of COVID-19: o Cough o Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing o Fever o Chills o Muscle pain o Sore throat o New loss of taste or smell

During the JCamp day the following protocols will be in place and may be adjusted periodically as advised by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health and CDC. Health Screenings

● Campers will go through a health screening in their car, while in carline before being allowed to exit the vehicle.

o They will be asked if they have any symptoms of COVID19 o Their temperature will be taken. Campers with a fever of 100.4 or higher will not be

allowed to a�end camp. ● Staff will complete the same health screening as campers upon their arrival.

entering the Center and frequently throughout the day. A sink will be provided at carline. ● Staff will reinforce with campers to cough and sneeze into their elbows.

Masks

● Staff will wear masks at all �mes. ● Campers will be encouraged to wear masks. They may remove them when they are in their

small bunks within the classrooms. As they move about the Center and when they are in shared spaces while prac�cing 6’ of physical distancing campers must wear masks.

Grouping

● Bunks will be no more than 12 campers to at least 2 counselors. ● Campers will be kept in their small bunks throughout the day. ● During the week long session the bunks will be consistent.

● High touch points and any area where food is consumed will be sani�zed between JCamp bunks.

● Each evening a professional cleaning company will provide a deep clean and sani�za�on of the facility.

Policy for Symptoms

● If a camper shows any symptoms of illness they will be isolated from the other campers and asked to wear a face covering un�l their parent picks them up. We have a designated isola�on room reserved for this purpose.

● A�er the staff member or camper goes home, the Director of Camp will follow up with an email outlining the policy for COVID19 symptoms.

● Campers or staff must stay home in isola�on and not return to the JCC for a minimum of 10 days a�er onset of symptoms OR un�l their symptoms have improved AND they are free of fever for at least 72 hours without fever-reducing medica�on.

Policy for Posi�ve COVID19 Test

● We will contact the Los Angeles Department of Public Health Acute Communicable Disease Program for guidance on steps to take to minimize risk for other campers and staff. We will discuss if and for how long you may need to close for appropriate cleaning and other steps.

● Iden�fy adults and campers who may have had close contact (within physical distancing measures of 6 feet) of the ill individual for more than 10 minutes or those who may have had unprotected direct contact with body fluids or secre�ons of the ill individual star�ng from

two days (48 hours) before symptoms appeared. Body fluids or secre�ons include saliva, sputum, nasal mucus, vomit, urine or diarrhea. These people should home-quaran�ne for 14 days from the date of the contact.

● If any staff or campers develop symptoms while in quaran�ne, they should follow the return to work guidelines (10 days a�er symptoms started AND 3 days / 72 hours a�er fevers have resolved and symptoms improved).

Campers are not allowed to dispense any medica�on on their own. Staff is allowed to administer medica�on only when the form on CampDoc indicates that permission has been given. We are not able to administer any medica�on, prescrip�on or over the counter without this wri�en consent. State guidelines require all medica�on to be in the original container. For safety reasons, all medica�ons should be brought to the Director’s office. DO NOT send any medica�on in your camper’s lunch or backpack.

These ac�vi�es may include Art, Music, Games, and more.

Drop off and Pick Up Procedures  

- Due to COVID19 and to limit the number of people on our campus the ONLY way to drop off and pick up your camper is through carline.

- NEVER leave your vehicle to speak with a counselor or other parent.

- This summer carline is the only way to drop off and pick up campers this summer. If for any reason your family is unable to follow and respect our carline policy and you have been spoken to three �mes by either the JCamp Director or WJCC security personnel your camper will no longer be able to a�end JCamp.

- Due to the specifics of carline and touchless sign in and out of camp we will need to know in advance everyone who is authorized to drop off or pick up your camper. Please update this informa�on in CampDoc. You will need to make sure all those authorized have downloaded and set up the brightwheel app. Drop off Hours 7:30am to 8:50am Please note camp starts at 9:00am. Please help us get JCamp started on �me by being in carline by 8:50am. Pick up Hours 3:15pm to 6pm

Page 7: 5870 We s t O l y m p i c B l v d . , Lo s A n g e l e s , C A 90036 ad e l e o n … plus/Updated_2020... · 2020. 7. 24. · t e ach i n g t o o l t o b e e r o u rs e l v e s .

When you drop off your camper please let the staff at carline know when you will be picking up your camper. All campers must be picked up by 6pm. How Morning Carline Works - The JCamp carline drop off and pick up is operated on the top level of the Westside JCC parking structure. Access to the structure is located within the west alley of the JCC. This alley is shared with the Olympia Hospital Medical Center. This alley is one way travel from San Vicente traveling north to Olympic Blvd. NO vehicles should enter the west alley from Olympic Blvd. Please drive slowly (5 mph) and watch for pedestrians and strollers exci�ng the pedestrian gate and cars exi�ng the parking structure.

- During the period of ac�ve carline, parents should wait in their cars in a single file line along the concrete fence to allow vehicles to pass on the le� to Olympic Blvd. At both the drop off and pick up �mes we have swim parents and others exi�ng the parking structure and traveling north to Olympic Blvd. Please allow enough room for vehicles to pass on the le�. At no point should cars block either the garage entry or exit ramps.

- Enter the alley from San Vicente and slowly drive to the second entrance of the parking structure, the top level. Slowly and carefully drive up the right side of the ramp. The top level will be set up as in the picture below. Follow the flow of traffic slowly and stay in your car at all �mes. Please have your pink carline sign in the window of your car. You will be given carline signs on the Monday of your camper’s first week of camp.

- Staff will approach your car as it arrives at the tent area. Please have your masks on and roll down the windows. The staff member will administer the health screening by asking you and your camper(s) the health screening ques�ons and take everyone’s temperature. If anyone in the car has a fever of 100.4 or above the camper(s) will not be able to a�end camp. We ask you to go home and we will follow up with suggested protocols on home isola�on with symptoms of COVID19. You will sign your camper in to camp using the check in op�on within the brightwheel App. The staff member will provide you a QR code to scan and you will enter your personal code to sign the camper into JCamp. Once the campers are cleared and signed in, the staff member will help them exit the vehicle and direct them to a sink to wash their hands. Then another wai�ng counselor will guide them to the pa�o for outdoor play un�l morning circle. How A�ernoon Carline Works When you are on your way, ideally 5 minutes before you will arrive, using the Brightwheel App send a message to say you are on your way. Your camper(s) and their belongings will be brought to you on the top floor of the parking structure. Please follow the same path as is provided below and wait in a cue of cars for your camper to come to you. To build the cue of cars, it is paramount that you communicate that you are on your way. You can also send a message when you arrive. Your camper(s) will be loaded into your car. Please have your mask on because you will need to sign out your camper using the brightwheel App on your phone and QR code provided by the staff member.

Communica�on with Parents We aim to be responsible to our environment and plan to do the majority of our communica�on via email. Informa�on will be emailed to the email address used when registering. We will be using Brightwheel for two way communica�on around pick up. Please make sure the brightwheel app is on your phone. Addi�onally we will be communica�ng the great things happening at camp through our social media pla�orms (Facebook, Instagram). This will give parents the chance to learn about what happens during the day at JCamp. At the end of each week, we will send out a slideshow from the week of JCamp fun. Camp Doc Authoriza�ons & Forms Campers without the necessary authoriza�ons or forms submi�ed prior to their first day of Camp will not be admi�ed. Please complete all authoriza�ons and submit all forms online through our online registra�on system CampDoc. Lost & Found Any lost ar�cles without a name will be placed in the Lost and Found for 12 hours. If you are missing an item, please send Ana DeLeon an email at [email protected] . Ana will try to track down the missing item. Due to COVID19 we will not be holding on to found items that are not labeled. We cannot stress the importance of labeling every item your camper brings to camp. We assume no responsibility for lost/stolen items. A�re/Footwear Campers should be dressed comfortably each day. We will be both inside and outside throughout the day and campers should be dressed appropriately for the weather. Please only send your camper to camp in clothes that you are okay with ge�ng dirty. Shoes suitable for walking and/playing on concrete are required. Appropriate shoes include sturdy tennis shoes, some other type of sport shoe or sturdy sandals. Water shoes and flip flops will only be allowed for wearing to and from water play. If your camper has specific clothing or shoe requirements related to their specialty camp you will be no�fied at the beginning of the week. Lunch Campers must bring their own lunches. Please remember that lunches cannot be refrigerated or heated. Westside JCC will provide two Kosher snacks, but if you want to pack addi�onal snacks, please feel free. Please remind your camper that there is no sharing of food from home at JCamp. Shabbat Shabbat is a celebra�on of a weekly Jewish holiday that celebrates the conclusion of the week. At JCamp we take advantage of this amazing opportunity by finishing our week together in celebra�on. Our Shabbat celebra�on includes ligh�ng candles, singing songs, and ea�ng Challah (braided egg bread). Addi�onally, we hope that each bunk will be able to share some of what they have learned with the rest of JCamp. Our Shabbat Celebra�on is an exci�ng way for us to finish the week together.

Birthdays We love celebra�ng birthdays at camp. In the �me of COVID19 treats from home or shared treats are not really possible. We will celebrate your camper in many non-food related ways and make their birthday special while at camp. I nterac�on with Staff Outside Of Camp JCamp counselors are not permi�ed to have outside contact with campers and their families. This includes but is not limited to babysi�ng, play dates or other arranged �mes for mee�ng up. We know that some�mes we happen to be at the same place at the same �me, and in that case would strongly encourage our JCamp Staff to say Hello! Discipline and Camper Conduct Policy We use posi�ve guidance techniques in managing behavior. This includes sta�ng limits posi�vely, giving choices, redirec�on, and distrac�on. Campers will be removed from their camp bunk if they are hur�ng themselves or others, or if they indicate that they would benefit from a break from the group.. JCamp staff is trained to give campers support in calming down, regaining self-control and understanding choice and consequences. If our staff feels a camper’s behavior is endangering their own safety or that of their peers, that camper may be asked to sit out from an ac�vity. Every effort will be made by the staff in consulta�on with the parents/guardian to ensure a posi�ve camp experience for your camper. Any behavior that interferes with the safety, learning or enjoyment of other campers will not be tolerated. If there are discipline problems with your camper, you will be no�fied. In the event there are behavioral difficul�es deemed irreconcilable, a camper may be removed from any JCC summer program. Any refunds will be determined by Westside JCC. Emergency Preparedness In the event of an emergency or natural disaster, we will take the necessary steps in order to ensure your camper’s safety. If evacua�on is needed, all campers and staff will be evacuated to a safe loca�on and Westside JCC’s evacua�on plan will be followed. Our staff members are all trained on how to deal with emergency situa�ons and protocols. In the case of an evacua�on or other emergency that impacts the en�re camp program, you will first be no�fied by text message through our emergency text message system. Addi�onally, you will receive an email through CampDoc. Please DO NOT pick up your camper un�l you have been no�fied that it is necessary. If secondary or specific communica�on including the need to pick up your camper is needed you will receive a phone call from the Camp Director, Program Assistant or Head Counselor. Please understand that we cannot call everyone at the same �me. If your camper experiences an individual emergency during the day, then we will contact you with those details over the phone.

USE OF LIKENESS RELEASE I, the parent or guardian, agrees to irrevocably grant to Westside JCC and to their employees, agents, and assigns — the right to take your camper's photograph, record your camper, or use their image, silhoue�e, and/or other reproduc�ons of their physical likeness, as well as their voice and/or words, for all purposes related to marke�ng and promo�on of Westside JCC, across all media. These rights are granted in perpetuity. BEHAVIOR POLICY Westside JCC’s JCamp is designed for campers to func�on in an atmosphere dedicated not only to individual growth but also to bunk cohesion. These situa�ons some�mes s�mulate various behaviors including both posi�ve and nega�ve peer pressures. Since our program popula�on is a sampling of the world we live in, we deem it advisable to delineate very clearly what Westside JCC’s standards and rules are and what ac�on we will take in our role as “subs�tute parents” in the event that these rules are broken. NOT ALLOWED:

a. Illegal ac�vity, including possession or use of any drug or substance. b. Possession or consump�on of alcoholic beverages. c. Possession of tobacco products. d. Possession or sale of pornographic materials. e. Possession of knives or weapons of any kind. f. Ac�vity detrimental to the welfare or health of others, including, but not limited to,

persistent physical or verbal abuse, the�, or vandalism. Westside JCC will charge the offender for repairs or removal of graffi�.

g. Certain items and ac�vi�es at Westside JCC are not necessary or are inappropriate by Westside JCC staff (i.e., violent or abuse lyrics, etc.), matches, lighters, fireworks, or incense of any kind.

h. Unauthorized cell phones are not permi�ed at Westside JCC. i. Unauthorized animals are not permi�ed at Westside JCC.

Should we have reason to suspect a par�cipant of viola�ng any of the above rules, we respond as follows: For a, b, c, d, & e, and in cases of the� (f), we reserve the right to search the par�cipant’s possessions in their presence. If we determine a viola�on of the rules has occurred, we will no�fy the par�cipant’s parents. Viola�on of a or b will result in immediate dismissal. In the case of c, d, or f, disciplinary ac�on may be taken a�er full considera�on. In regard to f, Westside JCC encourages respect of other par�cipants and staff. Any par�cipant who does not adhere to this philosophy will be counseled, and if necessary, disciplined by us. If such counseling and discipline does not result in coopera�on and be�er behavior, we will consult with parents. We then reserve the right to suspend a par�cipant from the program. This behavior may also affect future enrollment, and we do reserve the right not to allow a par�cipant back into the program.

We also feel that a safe and successful programming experience requires adherence to a few rules and regula�ons regarding safety procedures. Persistent and willful disregard for these rules and regula�ons is considered sufficient reason for expulsion. This will not be enforced without first communica�ng with parents and making every effort to secure coopera�on. Being a part of Westside JCC means doing ac�vi�es together. Par�cipants are expected to join in group ac�vi�es and are encouraged to par�cipate in all program ac�vi�es. ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organiza�on. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend physical distancing and have, in many loca�ons, prohibited the congrega�on of groups of people. Westside Jewish Community Center the parent organiza�on of JCamp (hereina�er “JCamp”) has put in place preventa�ve measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, JCamp cannot guarantee that I or my camper(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Furthermore, I acknowledge a�ending JCamp may increase the risk for myself and my camper(ren)’s risk of contrac�ng COVID-19. By accep�ng this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I and my camper(ren) may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by a�ending JCamp and that such exposure or infec�on may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death. Addi�onally, I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at JCamp may result from the ac�ons, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, JCamp employees, volunteers, and program par�cipants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my camper(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my camper(ren) may experience or incur in connec�on with my camper(ren)’s a�endance at JCamp or par�cipa�on in Westside Jewish Community Center programming. On behalf of myself, and my campers in a�endance, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless JCamp, its employees, agents, and representa�ves, of and from the Claims, including all liabili�es, claims, ac�ons, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or rela�ng thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the ac�ons, omissions, or negligence of JCamp, its employees, agents, and representa�ves, whether a COVID-19 infec�on occurs before, during, or a�er par�cipa�on in any JCamp program. JCAMP ILLNESS, HYGIENE, PHYSICAL DISTANCING EXPECTATIONS As a condi�on of enrollment, families must agree to all of our illness, hygiene, and physical distancing expecta�ons without excep�on. Failure to meet these expecta�ons is grounds for immediate disenrollment.
