USE OF THE MARJCC

The MARJCC, a membership-based organization, provides programs and services to both its membership and the community-at-large. Programs open only to MARJCC members are noted in the Program Guide and other promotional materials.

COVID-19 GUIDELINES

During these unprecedented times, the following MARJCC Guidelines relative to COVID-19 supersede the standard MARJCC guidelines detailed below:

  • Parent Drop-off/Pick-up: Parents are asked not to remain in the building when dropping off children ages seven and older.
  • Temperature checks: Members and staff are required to have temperatures taken using a noninvasive thermal scanning thermometer before entering the JCC. Per CDC guidelines, individuals with a body temperature higher than 100.4° will not be permitted to enter the facility.
  • Waiver: Members and staff are required to sign a mandatory Health Declaration waiver confirming they are neither experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 nor have come in contact with someone who is experiencing symptoms.
  • No Guests Permitted: Only MARJCC members are allowed on campus. No members can bring guests at this time.
  • Zoom Class Policy: Please refer to your program section.

MEMBERSHIP CARDS

Every member, ages 12 and older, is required to carry a MARJCC photo membership card. To facilitate entry into the building, please present your membership card, non-member card or government-issued ID to the Welcome Desk or Tennis Desk staff member. Though we make every effort to recognize our members, we ask everyone to carry his/her membership card at all times. If your membership card is lost or stolen, please notify Membership Services to prevent unauthorized use of the card. A $10 fee will be charged for the replacement Membership card. Membership cards are non-transferable, and MARJCC membership may be revoked upon violation of MARJCC policies.

 GUEST POLICY

Once guests are permitted to use MARJCC facilities, the Welcome Desk will collect guest access fees to the Feldenkreis-Feig-Hanono Athletic Field, Fitness Center, Scheck Family Gymnasium and Edith & Saul Schmidt Aquatic Center. When playing tennis, these fees will be collected at the Soffer Family Tennis Center.

All guests must check-in with a government-issued picture ID and pay each time they visit. All guests will sign a waiver to be kept on file. There is no maximum number of guest visits as long as the guest presents a valid ID every visit, signs the waiver, and pays the fee. Guests must abide by all MARJCC rules and policies.

  • Junior Fee: $10 Age 13 and under
  • Adult Fee: $20     Ages 14 – 69
  • Senior Fee: $10 Age 70+
