JCC Kids’ Club Camp

Program Overview

JCC Kids’ Club Camp offers an intimate day camp experience where campers can discover new interests, test personal limits, and most importantly, have fun. In this exciting and safe environment, campers will make new friends and develop meaningful relationships with their counselors. We aim to give campers a sense of self in a whole new way as they experience a wide breadth of activities, including sports, art, music, theater, science, and much more! 

Kids’ Club Camp is an extension of Kids’ Club, with familiar staff and expanded use of the school campus. Based at Joaquin Miller Elementary School, Kids’ Club camp is open to all children in grades K-6.
