Programs for Children, Teens and Families
The Trager Family JCC offers more than recreational swimming and fitness. Parents can explore several age-specific programs, although registration, eligibility and prices vary.
Early childhood education, enrichment and developmental experiences for young children. Ask about age eligibility, admissions, tuition, enrollment availability and parent tours.
Seasonal day-camp experiences with recreation, friendship and age-appropriate activities. Review camp dates, transportation, medical forms, registration deadlines and extended-care options.
After-school programming that combines activities, homework opportunities and supervised recreation. Confirm participating schools, transportation and pickup requirements.
Swimming instruction and aquatic programs for different abilities. Ask about placement, instructor ratios, required swim items and session fees.
Before Registering a Child
- Check the required age or school grade and session dates.
- Ask about program capacity, waitlists and cancellation policies.
- Prepare emergency contacts, authorized pickup details and any required medical information.
- Confirm whether membership provides a discounted program price.
- Ask whether registration fees, transportation, meals or extended care cost extra.
