As summer winds down in the Hoosier state, the JCC Indianapolis is alive with energy, offering programs and events for families, children, and members of all ages. From back-to-school support to fall sports and community favorites, there’s something for everyone at JCC Indianapolis.
Parents seeking reliable and engaging after-school care can count on the JCC Indianapolis After School Care program. Children enjoy supervised play, enrichment activities, and friendships in a safe and nurturing setting. Registration is required to reserve a spot.
When school is out for planned holidays, the JCC Indianapolis has you covered with School’s Out Days—day camps that keep kids active and entertained while parents go about their day.
Labor Day weekend is your final chance to enjoy the Sid and Lois Eskenazi Water Park this year. On Labor Day (September 1), the pool will be open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monthly members may continue to use the outdoor pools until September 5. After Labor Day, the Cohen Competition Pool, Biccard Lazy River and Slides, Mordoh Zero-Depth Pool, and J Café will close until May 2026. Stay connected by joining the Eskenazi Water Park/JCC Pools Facebook Group.
A favorite community tradition returns—Doggie Dip Days! Before the pools close, let your furry friends enjoy a splash:
