The camper journey

Campers grow with us, not out of us.

Tap a group to see the milestone that makes each summer special.

Three young boys sitting on a bench holding white paper cups filled with pink and white shaved ice.

Neshama · Soul

Security

“I feel safe here.”

Growth begins with feeling safe and seen. Neshama campers discover the rhythm of camp, build trust with caring counselors, and make their very first camp friendships through swim, music, art, and imaginative play.

Signature experience
First Sleep Under

A special evening at camp with trusted counselors and familiar friends: a gentle taste of a bigger adventure.

Smiling campers in goggles and swim floaties pose together in the JCC pool, one flashing a peace sign.

Nitzanim · Seedlings

Belonging

“I belong here.”

The seedlings of friendship take root. Campers join group traditions, work alongside friends, and learn that their ideas matter and everyone has a place in the group.

Signature experience
Sleep Under With Friends

A special evening with familiar campers and counselors reinforces community and builds confidence for future firsts.

A group of smiling campers in pajamas hold stuffed animals together on the playground.

Aleph · First Hebrew Letter

Confidence

“I can do hard things.”

A summer of exciting firsts. Aleph campers head out on their first field trips and take a big step toward independence with their first onsite overnight.

Signature experience
First Field Trips + Onsite Overnight

Traveling together and sleeping at camp for the first time: two memorable chances to discover independence.

Three children in green shirts riding in an open-air vehicle, smiling and making faces at the camera.

Beyt · Second Hebrew Letter

Independence

“I can explore farther.”

Bigger adventures, more independence. A first offsite overnight asks campers to work together, care for their things, and support friends in a brand-new setting.

Signature experience
First Offsite Overnight

New surroundings, shared responsibilities, and another meaningful step toward independence.

A group of ten students and their teacher pose around a large table covered in art supplies in a classroom.

Ruach · Spirit

Choice

“My choices matter.”

Campers start making the experience their own, with more choice, bigger field trips, and two overnight experiences every session.

Signature experience
Two Overnight Experiences

Multiple overnights stretch independence, strengthen friendships, and build ownership of new adventures.

Three young women stand side-by-side on a dirt path in a hilly, grassy field.

Olim · Those Who Rise

Leadership

“I can make an impact.”

Experiences as big as they are ready to become: destination adventures, outdoor challenges, and everyday chances to lead. Olim is offered in Sessions 2–4 (July 5–August 13).

Signature experience
Leadership + Travel Adventures

Bigger destinations and real group responsibilities build initiative and independence in new settings.

Seven young people stand with their arms around each other on a rocky beach, with the Golden Gate Bridge visible across the water in the background.

CIT · Counselor in Training

Mentorship

“Others can count on me.”

CITs stop only participating in the magic of camp and start learning how to create it, working alongside experienced counselors with real responsibility. CIT runs July 19–August 6, 2027 (Weeks 5–7), and the full three-week program is priced at our standard two-week session rate.

Signature experience
From Camper to Mentor

A first chance to experience camp from the leadership side, including an onsite overnight and an Angel Island overnight.

A smiling young woman sits outside with a young girl standing beside her and a young boy sitting on her lap.

Staff · Giving Back

Purpose

“Now I help others grow.”

Some of our counselors grew up at Kehillah. The traditions and support they once looked forward to become experiences they now create for someone else.

Signature experience
From Camper to Counselor

Being the counselor who now welcomes a young camper is a powerful full-circle moment.

Why Camp

More than a summer. A place to grow up.

Field trips, overnights, swim, and theme days are the fun part. What families take home is bigger: kids who feel known, try new things, and come back year after year to the same community.

Belonging comes first

Every child is known, valued, and part of something. Caring counselors, real friendships, and Jewish community from day one.

Room to explore and grow

Kids feel safe to try new things, take healthy risks, and build skills. Confidence and independence follow.

A community to grow with

Campers grow with us instead of outgrowing us, from Neshama to CIT and staff, plus School's Out and Parents’ Night Out all year. Same community, never the same summer.

Designed on purpose

The fun isn't accidental. Every week is planned to help kids connect and grow, and the experience evolves at every age.

New to Kehillah? Every camper has their own beginning. It's never too late to Grow With Us.
