Our top priority is the physical and emotional safety of our campers. We work with experts to implement security measures at ALL camp locations. Armed Police officers are always on campus, ensuring our physical safety. The gate remains closed at all times except during carpool. Counselors track and accompany campers to all activities taught by trained adults. 

Emotionally, our counselors practice empathetic listening to diffuse conflicts and report any concerns to camp leadership. Understanding that your child’s physical and emotional safety is a top concern, our head staff communicates directly with parents to address concerns.

This summer, to respond to the unique needs of our community’s children and adolescents in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic, ITC is once again partnering with the community-based mental health organization, Chris180. Each unit will have an assigned Chris180 clinician accompanying them throughout the week. These clinicians will offer ongoing social-emotional support to staff and campers alike. Working in concert with Camper Care Director Danya Maloon, these clinicians will provide additional opportunities for our team and campers to continue developing healthy social behaviors and a greater capacity for emotional regulation.  

Whoever your child is and whatever family they come from, your child will be welcome and will build solid Jewish friendships that will last a lifetime. In the City Camps proudly offers a diverse camper and staff makeup, which makes our community unique. For many campers, In the City Camps is their first Jewish experience, while others may celebrate the holidays, go to Jewish day school, or attend Sunday school. Some campers have one Jewish parent, while others have two. Some have two mothers or fathers. Some come to camp with physical, emotional, and medical challenges. We welcome and nurture them all.
