Camp Chaverim

Best summer ever!

Camp Chaverim offers programming for campers ages 3-14. Our day camp program offers opportunities for 3 year olds through entering 6th grade an opportunity to experience a camp experience on site at our JCC that sits on 25 acres. Each camper receives daily swim lessons and recreational swim. We have specialists that range from disciplines ranging from art, nature, science, archery, drama, and more! We dive into Israeli Culture and the highlight of the week is a camp wide Oneg Shabbat on Friday afternoons!

Our Tween camp program is form those entering 6th-8th grade and is travel based. A combination of day trip and overnight trips give teens the opportunity to experience local attractions and do some traveling themselves.
