Camp Units & Age Groups
Our Jewish Day Camp is thoughtfully designed to grow with your child. Campers enjoy age-appropriate activities that spark curiosity, build confidence, and foster friendships, while gradually gaining more choice and independence as they mature. Jewish values, community (kehilla), and joyful learning are woven throughout each day.
Our camp is divided into three units, reflecting our campers’ developmental stages:
Rishonim (The First Ones)
Habonim (The Builders)
Manhigim (The Leaders)
All campers participate in swimming, engaging on-site activities, exciting field trips or special guest visitors, and a weekly Shabbat celebration filled with song, spirit, and community.
Rishonim (Rising Kindergarten – 2nd Grade)
Rishonim is our youngest unit, designed to nurture confidence, independence, and a love of camp. Campers rotate through a variety of structured, hands-on rotations that emphasize creativity, movement, teamwork, and fun. Daily schedules include both structured swim and free swim, on-site programming, and age-appropriate field trips.
Rishonim Groups:
Dag/Kochav-Yam - Rising Kindergarten
Tzav/Tzav-Yam - Rising 1st Grade
Trigon Aleph/Trigon Bet - Rising 2nd Grade
Habonim (Rising 3rd – 5th Grade)
Habonim campers begin to take on more responsibility and explore their interests more deeply. In addition to daily activity rotations, campers enjoy structured and free swim, on-site enrichment, off-site adventures and choice electives. Habonim campers also have the opportunity to participate in our special Kids’ Night Out – Sleepover Edition, a camp favorite!
