[Inclusion Camp] was an AMAZING experience for my son and us as a family. It was the first camp experience where we felt he was properly supported. Allowing him to have a fun, safe and flexible camp experience has been such an enormous joy and relief for our entire family.

The Macks Jewish Connection Network offers free sensory kits that make attending events less overwhelming. These feature noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets, sensory fidgets and more. They are free to borrow to use at community events.

Start by filling out the J Camp form. Then the Inclusion Director meets with every camper and family using documentation such as IEPs, BIPs, etc. and our inclusion questionnaire to determine the accommodation(s) needed at camp to ensure campers have a successful summer. Support is determined on a personal basis for each camper. There are eligibility requirements to ensure safety in the program.

J Camps Inclusion supports campers with a variety of different needs that vary each summer. Some of the most common disabilities supported are children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, ADHD, MS, MD and developmental delays.
