SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
Getting Started
First, you need a JCCSF account. You can create an account or login at jccsf.org/myaccount.
Be sure to have profiles created for each of your campers. You’ll be registering them for camp, so first either update or create their profiles under your account.
Ready to Register
- Clicking on the “REGISTER NOW” link in each session in our Camp Finder
- Visiting jccsf.org/myaccount clicking the “REGISTER FOR CAMP” orange button on the right of the My Account home screen. You will now see all our camp sessions.
- Make sure to register your camper using your contact and then adding your child to the registration.
- Add your selections to your cart.
- Answer the applicable questions for each camper (e.g., T-shirt size).
- Sign the required waiver and forms.
- Select “FINISH” to make your payment. You can pay in full now or pay the deposit and complete your payment in full by May 5, 2026. If you’ve requested information about Financial Assistance, we will contact you with next steps.
NOTE: When completing your transaction, after you pay the deposit, click “set up payment method” and select which payment method you would like to use for future payments. Then click “done” in the top right-hand corner. This will bring you to a confirmation page and complete your registration. At that point you will also be asked whether you want a receipt.
That’s it! You will receive a separate confirmation email for each child you’ve registered for. Preschool families will also receive an email about a required physician’s report. Your confirmation email contains important next steps to ensure we have all the information we need to welcome your camper to the JCCSF this summer.
Getting Waitlisted
Should a camp be filled, you may register your child for the camp waitlist at no cost. If a space becomes available, the Camp Office will contact you to see if you are still interested in enrolling your child in the camp. Newly available spaces in camps will be filled from the waitlist by the Camp Office on a strict first-come, first-served basis. Camp participants may not offer their canceled spot to another child. If you accept, enrollment will be subject to the policies noted therein. Should you decline or fail to complete enrollment within the time set forth, you will lose your place on the wait list for that particular camp and/or session.

What’s a camp day at the J like?
There’s no such thing as a typical day at camp at the JCCSF, but there are a few things you can count on. From the moment you drop your camper off to the moment they begrudgingly climb back into the car to go home at the end of the day, we make sure a good (and safe!) time is had by all.
Morning: Campers start their day with get-to-know-you games and learn what’s in store for their day. After the ice is broken, the fun really starts to heat up. Mornings are spent taking part in projects and activities related to each camper’s chosen program like musical theater, art, STEAM or sports.
Afternoon: As lunchtime approaches, a quick stretch or outdoor time may be in order to help get the wiggles out before it’s time to nosh. Afternoons are filled with camp games for the younger kids and more specialty activities for grades 3 – 8 with plenty of fresh air, trips into nature, games and snacks sprinkled throughout for good measure.
When the day nears its end, we wrap up, clean up, pack up and head down to drive through where campers are picked up, excited to tell you about all the fun they had and the friends they made that day. Then we do it all again the next day.
