Program areas at TJCC
Early childhood and camp: the Tucson Jewish Community Center (Tucson j) was formed in 1949 and is steeped in the tradition of offering exciting year-round programs for people of every age, especially children. Children's programming begins at 6 weeks old with our infant/toddler program and continues through adolescence with our teen/youth programs. Our early childhood program (ece) serves more than 285 children daily year-round. Our summer camping programs are accredited by the american camping association (aca) and serve approximately 450 children. Many of our early childhood and camp participants are able to attend through fee reductions granted based on financial need. Last year we gave out 758,574 in scholarships and discounts for programming and membership.
