(Courtesy of Kaplen JCC) The Kaplen JCC on the Palisades will hold its annual Open House for the entire community on Sunday, September 16, 1-4 pm, where members and guests can sample classes; take part in the Thurnauer School of Music’s instrumental petting zoo; and enjoy moon bounce, a balloonologist, face painters and roaming entertainers. There will also be giveaways and special one-day-only discounts. Current and prospective members are all welcome and can enjoy the JCC water park, outdoor pools, gyms, fitness center, fields, playgrounds, tumble room and tennis and racquetball courts as part of their Open House experience.
Sample classes for children that will be showcased at the event include dance and drama demos and workshops, CMEK (basketball) lessons and demos, Stavri Tennis Academy workshops and group tournaments with prizes and giveaways and a youth boot camp demo. Sample classes and demonstrations for adults will include Zumba, chair massages and facial evaluations by JCC spa professionals, who will be introducing Repechage, a revitalizing seaweed-based skin care line, at the spa this fall. Visitors will also have the chance to receive acupuncture and nutrition consultations from experts from the Graf Center for Integrative Medicine, in association with Englewood Health, right in the convenience of the JCC.
JCC representatives will be on hand to speak about JCC programs and membership, give guided tours of the facilities and help with class registration.
