kinder camp

Location: Main J Campus

Kinder Camp is designed just for rising kindergarteners. This camp helps children practice the skills they’ll need for school—independence, responsibility and smooth transitions—while giving them a summer filled with joy, exploration and confidence-building.

Our nurturing, well-trained staff create a safe, welcoming environment where campers dive into a variety of process-oriented, age-appropriate activities each day. Kinder Campers enjoy weekly music, sports, arts and crafts, Jewish learning and Israel engagement.

Campers participate in daily instructional swim Monday – Thursday and enjoy free swim on Fridays. Each week begins with Havdalah on Monday and ends with a sweet Shabbat celebration on Friday—building rhythm, meaning and connection throughout the summer. Kinder Camp is the place where friendships grow, confidence shines and every day feels like a new adventure.
