Lost cards will be replaced for a nominal fee of $10 per card or $10 for key fobs.

To ensure the safety and security of our members, all children younger than 6th grade must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or adult guardian (18 years or older) when accessing the MJCCA and while utilizing its facilities. If a child younger than 6th grade is enrolled in a supervised program, a parent or adult guardian (18 years or older) must escort the child to and from the program location and may not drop the child off at the building entrance.

Children ages 12 and under are not permitted to access the fitness facilities at Zaban Park. Once reaching age 13, children whose families are at the All Access level of membership are allowed to access the fitness facilities. They are permitted to use the facilities on their own only after completing a complimentary orientation given by a MJCCA Fitness staff member.

Children age 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian (18 years or older) to access the indoor pool and outdoor pool areas. Once reaching age 13, children whose families are at the All Access level of membership are allowed access to the indoor pool and outdoor pool areas on their own.

Out-of-Town Policy

Members, guests, and visitors at any MJCCA facility or MJCCA sponsored activity must conduct themselves in a manner consistent with a family atmosphere and Jewish values. Violations to persons or property will not be tolerated. Non-adherence to MJCCA rules and regulations may result in disciplinary action. Please click here to view our full Code of Conduct.

Protecting the safety of our members and their children is our top priority. Children younger than 6^th grade are not permitted to be at the MJCCA unsupervised. Unsupervised is defined for these purposes as out of visual range of the adult responsible for them.

Children in 6th grade and older who are at the MJCCA without adult supervision are expected to:

• follow all MJCCA rules (and be able to read signs indicating any changes to known rules, safety issues, etc.)
• respectfully adhere to policies and direction from MJCCA staff
• respectfully and appropriately use all center facilities and equipment

In the event that a child younger than 6th grade is at the MJCCA unsupervised or a child 6th grade or older is found engaging in inappropriate behavior or breaking MJCCA rules, the child will be escorted to the main reception desk, a parent will be called, and the child must be picked up promptly.

The MJCCA reserves the right to revoke the privilege of being at the MJCCA unsupervised for any child 6th grade and older making inappropriate choices.

Please be advised that the MJCCA operates on a MJCCA credit-only policy and does not issue any refunds unless otherwise advised and approved. Refunds are not available on tickets for plays, concerts, special events, or holiday programs. Refund policies for camps and preschools are stated in their registration materials.

The MJCCA prohibits members and guests from bringing dangerous weapons or unauthorized materials such as explosives, firearms (either concealed or otherwise), knives, or other similar items that might be considered dangerous or that could cause harm onto MJCCA property. MJCCA property is defined as all MJCCA-owned or leased buildings and surrounding areas such as sidewalks, walkways, driveways, and parking lots under the MJCCA’s ownership or control. The MJCCA reserves the right at any time and at its discretion to conduct lawful searches for the purpose of determining whether any weapon has been brought onto its property or premises in violation of this policy.

The MJCCA’s Inclusion Program strives to provide the necessary accommodations and flexibility for youth who require additional support so they may access the transformative opportunities available at the MJCCA. Our Inclusion Team collaborates with parents, educators, and staff to determine if successful program placement is possible. These youth and their families are then supported by our Inclusion Team through program accommodations and may also receive individualized assistance. Click here for more information.

Speaker and presenters viewpoints are their own and do not reflect the viewpoints of the MJCCA or MJCCA staff.

The MJCCA is committed to inclusion of the entire Jewish community. Our kosher policy is designed to be respectful of the traditional rules of kashrut within the context and culture of our local community. To clarify our Board’s kashrut policy the following interpretations have been established to protect the integrity of our spaces.

The MJCCA’s kosher food policy allows all non-meat and kosher fish foods onto the MJCCA campus, even if they were prepared outside of the building and/or are not prepared under rabbinic or Orthodox supervision. Please note that our policy requires that all food, other than kosher fish, be non-meat. Non-meat refers to products that do not contain flesh foods, as well as byproducts of meat and poultry (such as animal gelatins or rennet – for example Jello, marshmallows, or some cheeses). Kosher fish refers to fish that have fins and scales. Examples of kosher fish are tuna, grouper, bass, flounder, salmon, etc. Examples of non-kosher fish are catfish, shellfish, shrimp, lobster, marlin, monk fish, mussels, etc.

The JCC rabbi or appointed mashgiach (kashrut supervisor) will oversee kashrut and maintain the integrity of the JCC kashrut policy. It is requested that staff members check in with the MJCCA rabbi / mashgiach before ordering and/or serving food at JCC sponsored events.

  • Equipment (grills, utensils, tools) will be stored and reserved for this purpose only.
