The Katz JCC’s Camp By The Sea was able to provide a fun and exciting, yet modified camp experience in 2020 with over 100 campers here at our Margate, NJ location. As we plan for our 2021 summer we are gearing up for the real thing!
Working in conjunction with the Department of Health, CDC and American Camp Association we are aiming for a traditional camp experience here at the Jersey Shore’s top Summer camp, incorporating the necessary guidelines to ensure a safe and healthy summer for all of our camp families.
Here is what we can promise you; children need Camp By The Sea this Summer more than ever! After a year of hybrid and virtual schooling, kids need to get off their computers and tablets, get outdoors and return to a camp environment that is safe, supportive, and hands on. They need to reconnect with friends and enjoy the memorable activities they have come to love at Camp By The Sea, all while remaining under the supervision of experienced staff that will continue to enforce the highest level of COVID-19 Guidelines set by the CDC and State Government.
We promise the opportunity for your child(ren) to return to that sense of normalcy while maintaining these safety guidelines and look forward to the opportunity to spend our summer with you.

The Milton & Betty Katz JCC is proud to formally unveil the newly renovated and designated Family Locker Rooms thanks to a generous donation from Carolyn and Mitchell Davis. The ribbon cutting will take place Friday, October 2 at 3:00pm at the Katz JCC, 501 N. Jerome Ave., Margate.
The locker rooms, located just off the indoor pool
area of the community center, received a complete remodel to incorporate over
160 new lockers in both locker areas that our camp program, swim team and swim
lesson families will find most accommodating. Along with the additional locker
space there are new restroom stalls, beautiful new showers, lighting and epoxy
nonslip floors.
“This past early spring, during the darker days of
COVID-19, our building was closed and this continued for over two months. The
days were made easier to come in while the wonderful renovation was taking
place. Carolyn and Mitchell Davis provided us with the hope that brighter days
were to follow and our families would be surprised and excited to see this
change when they returned,” said Marg Rosenblatt, JCC CEO.
The locker room space will be dedicated to members with children and those children participating in swim team, swim lessons, and camp during specified hours. The family locker rooms will help create a safe and enjoyable environment for young families participating in the JCC’s various programs.
For more information, please call 609-822-1167 or stop by the Welcome Desk in the JCC lobby.

The Katz JCC Early Childhood Education Center is excited to announce a FULL DAY, 5 day per weekKindergarten as well as an enrichment program, entitled J School Enrichment for children in grades 1 – 8 beginning September 8, 2020.
This decision was made to provide support to our families during this uncertain time. For years, the Katz JCC staff have worked together to provide the area’s top Summer Camp, Camp By The Sea and Early Childhood Education Center. Our full day Kindergarten and J School Enrichment are simply a wonderful extension of our current programs established to support your child’s academic and social needs this school year.
The JCC’s Kindergarten curriculum will provide a high quality academic program, exceeding the NJ Core Standards as well as a enhanced education including swim lessons in our indoor pool, planned activities in our full-size gym and expansive outdoor recreation facility, computer classes, and hands-on science classes in our interactive nature and science room.
J School Enrichment is a chance for students to complete their online learning requirements with additional support, and have the chance to be a kid with access to our facilities at the Katz JCC while parents return to work.
Students will stay in small groups with adults who can help support them with their time management and some of the academic questions they may have as they complete their online learning through the public/private school they are enrolled in until their in-person school experience begins.
We will be able to provide meaningful “brain breaks” including fun activities that stretch our bodies and minds in our science and nature room, game room, playground, indoor pool and gymnasium all while following CDC and State Guidelines to maintain a healthy and safe environment.
Enrollment is starting NOW and class sizes will be limited to 10 children.
The following guidelines have been established to help ensure the health and safety of our members.
The health of our members is our number one concern. In light of the current pandemic, the Katz JCC has adopted new health guidelines to ensure the well being of our members and staff when we are permitted by the State Government to reopen.
