  • Camp Kef: kef means fun in Hebrew—and this camp brings it all day long!
  • NEW! Camp Kef 3: all the fun of Camp Kef, plus campers and counselors stick together for three weeks at a time to create stronger bonds
  • Sports Camp: athletes of all skill levels practice favorite sports and learn new games at Luther Burbank Park
  • X Camp: older campers get out to explore beaches, mountains, museums, and more
  • J Camp + J Camp Minis: campers are at the gorgeous Luther Burbank Park, including beach and playground
  • Counselors in Training: with organized training and hands-on experience, CITs learn to be great future counselors

Specialty Camps give kids the chance to focus on their favorite activities or explore something new.

With dozens of camps to choose from, kids can learn about robots and animation, spend the week on the waterfront, take the stage in theater camp, release their inner chef, and so much more.
