Dear All,
Our staff has been preparing for weeks and we were all excited to begin to see life within our building again. However, due to what has been permitted per New York State guidelines during Phase 4 on Long Island, our plans for re-opening have changed.
What does this mean for members?
On Monday, July 13, Step 1 of our phased re-opening will begin with the Kroll Family Aquatics Center. Only those with active memberships will have access to the
lap pool
after making reservations through our new reservation system which will open
Saturday, July 11, 6am
. To familiarize yourself with how to make a reservation,

for step by step instructions. Please note, the system is not currently open. Reservations cannot be made until Saturday, July 11, 6am.
Given the exclusion of fitness centers from opening during Phase 4 by Governer Cuomo, we are unable to open the Conditioning Room, the Cardio Room and Personal Training. Having protocols that are presently in place, as soon as we are given the authority to open, we will be ready to do so in a moment’s notice. Until then, our virtual programming remains robust and can be found at
sjjcc.org/virtual-programs
.
In the interim, we are also developing plans to offer socially distanced outdoor exercise opportunities and experiences for our members. Stay tuned for more details on these exciting new programs in the upcoming days.
What are the JCC's hours of operation?
For our opening, our goal is to monitor closely to ensure policies and procedures are working optimally. Until further notice, our hours of operation will be:
- Monday-Thursday: 6am-7pm
- Friday: 6am-5:30pm
- Saturday, Sunday: 8am-2pm
The privilege of membership fuels our ability to serve.
Your membership dollars have allowed us to provide over 100 virtual programs a week and have allowed us to continue to respond to community needs.
Here are just a few examples of how your membership dollars have allowed us to impact our community:
- SJJCC's Community Needs Bank collected and delivered 25,000 pounds of food to individuals and families in need
- The Fay J. Lindner Senior Services Center provided 65 support group sessions
- Our Partners In Caring Social Workers conducted consultations and counseling for 650 individuals
- The Jack Nadel Social Services Center for People with Special Needs has provided more than 140 virtual respite sessions to 70 participants
- Three camps now serve over 400 children, providing working families respite and children a true summer camp experience
