Camp Simcha
Be celebrated while celebrating others in joyous Jewish community!
Description
Camp Simcha is the place where campers’ individuality is celebrated within a group dynamic. Through a variety of experiences, campers will develop friendships, strengthen communication skills, and grow into the natural expression of who they are. The context will be a physically and emotionally safe and nurturing Jewish environment. Set in beautiful San Dieguito Park, our campers will swim twice a week, get music everyday, do art, play sports, go on a weekly field trip, and celebrate Shabbat every Friday afternoon with our camp community. Jewish values permeate every aspect of Camp Simcha with joy. With 21 summers under our belt most of the staff at camp were once campers themselves creating a true warm family feel!
*We welcome transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-non conforming campers
