BB Day Camp Portland

Bringing the Magic of BB Camp to the City

From Portland to Lincoln City, and beyond, we welcome all, ensuring all campers have a place to call home for the summer. For many of our campers, this is a first introduction to the BB Camp experience, but on their home turf! We set out each summer to deliver an epic experience, rooted in Jewish values, in each day camp city.

At BB Day Camp we aim to ensure every child feels seen, heard, safe, and more confident than when they arrived for the day. BB Day Camp is full of activities that foster personal interests and provide an opportunity to learn new skills, take risks, and bond with new friends. We also make sure plenty of opportunities exist for choice and structure free-play. But just as important, we ensure enriching experiences and Jewish Joy for different ages, abilities, backgrounds, denominations, affiliations, and those from interfaith families.​

Every week of BB Day Camp is different and exciting, and camp activities span the gamut, from arts and crafts, sports and games, water play, cooking and baking, Hebrew, Jewish enrichment, nature, science, and dance. Additional weekly programs vary by location but may include field trips, special guests, and swimming. A magical end to each week is Shabbat. Campers get the opportunity to reflect on the week, bake their own challah, and celebrate with their friends.​

*We welcome transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-non conforming campers
