Class Information
The "J" offers a variety of classes for all ages throughout the year. Click on our FEATURED PROGRAM GUIDE to see our most recent class offerings. As a FYI, no classes will be pro-rated for late entry. There can be no refunds after the first class session.

Registration Policy
It is important to register for classes and programs early. A minimum number of registrants is required for each class to run. If there is insufficient enrollment, a class may be cancelled in advance of its scheduled start date. Please register early to insure the class you choose will run. No seat will be reserved without a payment.

Guest Policy
JCC members in good standing may receive complimentary passes to the Center for out-of-town house guests for a period of up to two weeks. A $10 guest pass is required each time a local guest is brought to the JCC accompanied by a member. After three visits per year, local guests can choose to become members to continue using the JCC. Ask any JCC staff member about joining.

Children who are 12 or under may use the gym, pool or facilities if they are accompanied by a parent, adult or sibling 13 or older. If a sibling or adult does not accompany them, they must be enrolled in the JCC’s Kids Connection program. On snow and school vacation days, children ages 10-12 may come for supervised open gym from 12 noon-2 pm. At 2 pm your child must be picked up or registered to be in the Kids Connection.

Insurance
It is incumbent upon all participants to have personal insurance coverage in case of injuries which may occur on a no-fault, accidental basis.
