The JCC of Staten Island has Everything for Everyone
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be daunting for parents to find children’s activities that fit into the family’s busy schedule. Are you looking for a place where each member of the family—from little ones to parents to grandparents, and everyone in between—can find what they need? The Joan & Alan Bernikow JCC of Staten Island is here for you!
At the JCC of Staten Island, parents with young children can find four convenient preschool locations and options for working parents. A variety of “grownup and me” style classes are a great way for little ones to build skills while their guardians socialize. The JCC also hosts free or low-cost family events, such as carnivals, festivals, and holiday celebrations that parents and kids of all ages can enjoy together.
The JCC offers programs where people of all ages can have fun doing what they love, or pick up new hobbies and skills in a friendly, supportive environment.
Athletic kids and teens enjoy swimming, basketball, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. There are also recreation options for adults, including a fitness center, exercise classes, and pickleball.
At the JCC’s Dorothy Delson Kuhn Music Institute, there are so many instruments to choose from and you’re never too young—or old—to learn! There are also kids’ painting classes and other cultural opportunities for participants to explore.
Extracurricular activities help kids and teens become a part of a community. The JCC’s iTeens group gives teens a safe space to make friends and get involved in community service activities.
The JCC also offers School’s Out programs that bring kids together for special activities outside of the classroom! After school programs like those available at the JCC empower kids to learn and grow together.
The fun activities kids enjoy at the JCC culminate in everyone’s favorite time of year—summer camp season! At JCC Day Camp, kids enjoy up to 8 weeks of classic summertime adventures at the scenic Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds and exciting trips to destinations like theme parks and more.
The JCC of Staten Island has everything for everyone, and they can’t wait to welcome you and your family into a very special community.
