In addition to having access to all of the JCC’s indoor and outdoor spaces like the Marcus Gym, Family Gym, and Peck Aquatic Center; many of our Winter Break Camp days include field trips to explore off-campus locations like the Albert & Ann Deshur JCC Rainbow Day Camp in Fredonia, WI Humane Society, movie theaters, and the Ozaukee Ice Rink. Children are transported using either JCC mini-buses or yellow school buses, depending on group size.
