SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started

We can’t wait to welcome your campers to the JCCSF this summer. Here are some tips to help you get them registered.

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

Now you’re ready to start registering for camps. You can access our camp registrations by:

  • 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.

SUMMER CAMP FAQs

Need more info? Check out our Summer Camp Parent Guide – filled with specifics about our day-to-day camp operations and policies.

How do I qualify for member pricing?

In order to receive member pricing, you and your child must either have an active Family Fitness Memberships (both the parent and child are Fitness Center members), have an active Family Community Memberships (Individual and Older Adult memberships do not qualify) or currently be attending a JCCSF preschool.  You must have one of these active memberships prior to registering for camp. Discounts will not be applied if you become a member after registering your camper.

Member pricing only applies to K 10 camp offerings, not Preschool Summer Session.

Families enrolled in one of our preschools during the school year qualify as Community Family membership.

Is financial assistance available?

Yes. Visit our financial assistance page to learn more.

Will AM or PM care be available?

Yes. Find AM and PM Care in our Camp Finder using the “Add On” theme.

How often do my kids swim during camp?

Each camp session will swim once a week for 30 minutes. Your assigned swim day will be included in the reminder email sent the week before your camp’s start date. Swimming is an optional activity for our campers.

What does my camper need to pack on their swim day?

Pack your camper’s swimsuit and if they want, goggles and floatation devices. We’ll provide towels and a bag to bring home their wet swimsuit. 

What are the safety protocols during swim times?

Lifeguards will be on duty in addition to our counselors. At least one counselor per camp group of 16 campers will be swimming in the pool. One counselor will remain on the bleachers beside the pool with activities for campers who choose not to swim. 

How deep is the pool?

The pool that campers use ranges from 2 feet to 5 feet deep.

What if my child can’t swim?

Campers will be given an option to complete a swim test in order to access the deeper end of the pool.

What does my camper need to bring with them each day?

Campers should bring their own snacks and lunch, including water bottles.

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.

Deposit Policy

A nonrefundable deposit of $150 per child, per camp is due with registration, including those who are applying for financial assistance. Individual camp sessions may be one to three weeks long; each camp session requires a deposit. All fees must be paid in full for AM and PM Care at the time of registration. If the deposit is a financial hardship and you intend to apply for financial assistance, please contact the camp office prior to registration [email protected] or 415.292.1263. You may pay by ACH, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover. A 3% fee will be added to each transaction. Read the full Summer Camp 2026 policy here.
