Day Camp

Spend Your Summer Days with Us

It’s not just a fantastic, enriching day camp, it’s your summer home base for outdoor fun, building new friendships, and exploring nature, arts and crafts, drama, music, and swimming every day.

Located on our main campus, we welcome all campers into a safe community of respect and inclusion where each child is encouraged to shine.

All camps include daily swim. Before and after care is available for all, pricing below.

Explorers

Grades K–8

All enrolled campers will swim daily in the family pool and participate in enrichment activities such as: music, drama games, arts + crafts, athletics, nature, adventure, and Judaics. Fridays we’ll continue the tradition of welcoming Shabbat with songs, blessings, challah, and juice. This year we’ll expand the richness of Shabbat with a full day of Jewish-themed programming.
