CHILDREN DEVELOP THEIR BODIES AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO ADOPT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS THROUGH A PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT UTILIZES THE BEST OF THE JCC'S RESOURCES IN FITNESS, RECREATION, AND AQUATICS. THE SOUL IS NURTURED THROUGH LIVING JEWISH VALUES AND JEWISH EXPERIENCES IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT APPRECIATES AND RESPECTS THE DIVERSITY OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES PARTICIPATING IN OUR PROGRAM. IN 2018, THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER SERVED OVER 250 CHILDREN BETWEEN BOTH JCC LOCATIONS. RECOGNIZING THAT NOT ALL FAMILIES CAN AFFORD HIGH QUALITY CARE AND EDUCATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN, THE JCC PROVIDED OVER $260,000 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO OUR FAMILIES.

SABRA ACCOMPLISHES THIS BY EMPLOYING HIGHLY QUALIFIED, WELL-TRAINED STAFF WHO UTILIZE OUR UNIQUE FACILITIES TO PROVIDE THESE EXPERIENCES. OUR FAMILIES CONTINUE TO TELL US THROUGH SURVEYS WHICH BENCHMARK OUR PERFORMANCE AGAINST OTHER CAMPS THAT OUR PROGRAMMING (OUTDOOR ADVENTURE/EDUCATION, CULTURAL PROGRAMMING, WATER AND LAND SPORTS) AND STAFF QUALITY IS SUPERIOR TO OTHER CAMPS. IN 2018, CAMP SABRA SERVED NEARLY 750 CHILDREN FROM 21 DIFFERENT STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND 3 FOREIGN COUNTRIES. RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF A CAMP EXPERIENCE FOR ALL CHILDREN, REGARDLESS OF ECONOMIC RESOURCES - THE JCC PROVIDED OVER $105,000 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO MAKE THE SABRA EXPERIENCE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. CAMP SABRA CONTINUES TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS SUCH AS THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AND THE MISSOURI CHILDREN'S BURN CAMP TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES NOT JUST FOR SUMMER CAMPERS, BUT FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE AS WELL.
