The official PJCC membership page currently describes more than 90 weekly group exercise offerings, while other pages mention more than 100. The precise weekly number can change with scheduling. Check the actual class timetable rather than assuming a class runs every day.

1. Select an activity. Decide whether you prefer strength training, cardio, yoga, Pilates, balance, cycling or a specialized class.
2. Open the weekly schedule. Look for the day, start time, class level, instructor and room.
3. Confirm membership access. Some classes are included in membership; specialty sessions or personal training may be priced separately.
4. Book if required. Follow the official class reservation instructions and save confirmation.
5. Arrive prepared. Bring suitable footwear, comfortable exercise clothing and any items mentioned in the class description.

Treehouse After-School Care & Camp Keff

Treehouse @ the J

Treehouse is the PJCC’s after-school childcare program for elementary-age children. Its 2026–27 published fee sheet states that care runs after school until 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Transportation is listed from Audubon, Brewer Island, Beach Park and Foster City Elementary. Families attending other schools may arrange their own transportation when the program accepts them.

Camp Keff

Camp Keff combines sports, swimming, arts, STEM and age-based activities during school breaks and summer. Its programs include younger-child camp, elementary groups, teen adventure opportunities, Hebrew immersion and leadership pathways.

For camp registration, first check the child’s incoming grade, session dates, available spaces, tuition, extended-care arrangements, swim participation and cancellation rules. Do not assume the previous summer’s registration dates or fees remain valid for the next session.

Jewish Life, Arts & Community Events

PJCC hosts cultural experiences and Jewish life programs while welcoming visitors from different religious and cultural backgrounds. Activities may include exhibitions, performances, talks, celebrations, family events and social gatherings.

Before attending, check the event’s date, starting time, ticket price, registration status, whether it is open to non-members, and the correct campus check-in location.

Membership Types & Guest Pass Prices

PJCC offers several membership categories for different life stages. The organization does not display one universal monthly membership price on its current membership-types page; prospective members are directed to the Membership Office for applicable rates.

Published Guest Pass Prices

Guests must complete the center’s guest agreement and check-in process. Guests aged 17 and younger require guardian authorization; additional restrictions apply to the fitness floor and certain amenities.

Healthy Aging & Senior Activities

The PJCC Center for Healthy Longevity offers activities focused on movement, connection and healthy aging, including talks, discussions, balance classes and selected community programs.

Benefits vary by access option. The Center also lists the Get Up & Go Senior Rides program and caregiver support opportunities. Ask about service areas, reservation requirements and eligibility before relying on transportation.
