Take a fun filled day camp experience for ages 2 to 5 years, add a huge helping of qualified knowledgeable preschool teachers, buckets upon buckets of water, toss in snakes and animals, layer it with plenty of clay and paint, spice it with music and dance, and top it off with friends, sun, and fun… And you have Katan!
Katan is a fun, stimulating, and nurturing introduction to a camp experience filled with hands-on, age appropriate activities. Activities include outdoor water play, arts and crafts, music, and games. Special onsite events include bounce houses, dance parties, animal programs, guest entertainers, and all-Katan Shabbat, as well as weekly “mystery” readers.
Swimming (ages 3-4)
Under strict supervision, three-year-olds will go to the JCC’s Aquatics Center and enjoy a kiddie pool experience where they can splash and play to their heart’s content. Campers in our four-year-old groups will be swim tested, placed into appropriate age / ability groups, and receive two “swim lesson” days and one “recreational swim” day each week.
Kif Kef (extended care for Katan)
Daily before and after camp extended care is available for an additional fee. Hours: 7:30-9:00am and 12:30-6:00pm (minimum enrollment required). Kif kef block rate is available for 7:30-9:00am. Hourly Kif Kef is also available. You will receive Kif Kef forms in the parent packet once your child is registered. Rates are different than the extended care rates for older campers.
