Welcome and thank you for your interest in our programs. JMU 4 Kids offers a variety of summer camps at 2 locations, Academy of the Holy Names and St. Sophia's, both in Albany, NY. All of our camps operate under a permit from the Albany County Health Dept. and are inspected at least twice during the summer. Each location also has a full time Health Director on duty as well as adults with Red Cross CPR and 1st Aid Training. All of our workers also undergo background checks per the Albany County Health Department.

Our goal is to provide a safe, secure, fun, enriching experience for the kids and a convenient, affordable, reassuring option for their parents.

This summer (‘09) the following programs will be available and the cost for any camp is $180/week (students of AHN, DS, and SCS: $160/week) which includes drop off at 7:30AM and late day pickup by 5:30 PM.

We will be closed on Friday, July 3rd with that weeks' cost prorated.

All camps are coed and can be used on a week by week basis with no minimum registration requirements, however there are no partial day or week arrangements available except for the week of June 29th. Also there are no multiple child discounts.

All of our camps will have the opportunity to swim each afternoon at the JCC ( 6/8 - 6/26 ) and Myers M.S.( 6/29 - 9/4 ) indoor pools.We provide swimming instruction for those in need who are attending the Day Camp at Holy Names. If a camper chooses not to swim we will provide an alternate, supervised activity.

Additionally every Friday we have free pizza for lunch. We supply milk or juice to drink for lunch and we can provide breakfast (egg & cheese sandwich, fruit cups, cereal) and lunch (burgers, hot dogs, toasted cheese, etc.) for $2. A late day cookout will also be available.

At both locations a concession stand will be open during parts of the day with nominally priced drinks and snacks. At our Day Camp the youngest 2 groups are given mid morning and afternoon snacks with juice.

All transportation will be handled by Durham School Services and drivers are equipped with 2 way radio communication ability. Because our 2 locations are minutes apart all drop off and pick up will be at the child's camp. There will be no A.M. or P.M. shuttle bus.

Finally, refunds are gladly given as long as a request is made prior to the week in question. Other requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.

After reviewing the remaining material (especially FAQ) if you have any questions please use e-mail: jurschel@nycap.rr.com

We look forward to earning your trust! Joe Urschel
