Camp Overview

Day

Extended Day not available on last day of camp.
Extended Day and Early Drop-off available by session or on an as-needed basis

The Kaleidoscope season lasts 8 weeks. Families may enroll their children for 4 week sessions or the full 8 weeks of camp. Campers in kindergarten and grades 4-8 may enroll for two weeks in the second session.

Campers arrive each morning by bus or car, and are met by trained counselors who oversee their activities. The day is spent exploring visual and performing arts rounded out by sports and Red Cross certified instructional or free swim, and lunch. Visiting artists and performers also work with the campers in master classes and hands-on sessions.

Activities may include:

The youngest Kaleidoscope campers (Lower Camp, grades K-3) sample a wide variety of age-appropriate camp activities as they travel with their groups to different specialists throughout the day. As campers mature (Upper Camp, grades 4-8), they participate in a variety of activities with their groups, as well as choosing from a long list of electives to fill out their schedules. (See our activities above!)

Each four-week session culminates in Arts Nite, a special evening to highlight our campers’ talents and accomplishments. Fully staged musicals are performed on our professionally equipped stage, and campers’ artistic creations are installed throughout the JCC in a major multimedia exhibition.

When camp ends at 4pm, campers enrolled in Kaleidoscope’s extended day program stay at the Leventhal-Sidman JCC and enjoy snack and a variety of projects and activities. Campers may sign up for the entire session or schedule days as needed, space permitting, by paying a drop-in fee. Please check off the appropriate box on the Registration Form to secure a spot for your camper.
