Fall Into Community Programs

by Heather Lavin

The JCC of the Lehigh Valley is launching a full schedule of fall programs for children and adults. This season includes new activities, returning favorites, and opportunities to connect with others in the community.


For youth, some creative enrichment programs include Scrapbooking, Game On! Board Games & Puzzles, and Makerspace: Woodshop. Youth sports options feature Archery, Intro to Pickleball, and Basketball Clinics for skill development. Don’t forget to register early for our JHoops teams! Enrichments offered to our littlest include Adventurous Athletes, Fairytale STEAM, and Spanish Immersion. Aquatics programming offers swim classes for all ages, from parent-and-child lessons to adult fitness and technique training.


Active adults looking to hop on the pickleball train can find a variety of options, including Sports & Fitness Director Danielle Brown’s Pickleball 101 and Instructional Play. For in-depth instruction, you’ll find beginner and intermediate classes offered by our partners at Universal Rackets. For others looking for a competitive edge (while seated), our game programs include beginner lessons in Mah Jongg and Canasta, along with the ever-popular Mah Jongg Madness tournament.


Our longstanding Friendship Circle promises another engaging year with a wide variety of programming, lunch, and social opportunities. The JCC is also partnering with the Allentown Health Bureau to bring back a Matter of Balance class focusing on improving stability and preventing falls, and AARP to again offer a Safe Driving Course for those looking to refresh their skills.


Our goal is to offer something for everyone this fall. Whether you’re interested in sports, creative projects, or building social connections, the JCC has a program for you.
Program schedules, class descriptions, and registration details are available in the Fall Program Guide. Copies are available at the JCC Welcome Desk or online at lvjcc.org/programguide.
