Programs

Campers are placed in groups according to age and grade in school:

Introductory Session (entering kindergarten)

For first year campers only. Our youngest campers get a taste of Kaleidoscope as specialists and counselors guide them through an exploration of art, music, drama, swimming, sports and Shabbat celebration during our special introductory 2-week session. Each day includes lunch, swimming, a snack and six activity periods. Click here for a sample schedule.

Lower Camp (grades K-3)

Recreational and outdoor activities are key components. Each day includes lunch, swimming, a snack and six activity periods.

Upper Camp (grades 4-8)

Guest artists, writers, specialists and performers provide sophisticated workshops in a wide range of concentration areas. Community service opportunities are also a cornerstone of Upper Camp.

Counselors-In-Training (grade 9 and above)

Counselors-In-Training learn leadership skills as they pursue their own interests and assist counselors and specialists in camper activities and events. CITs also may participate in the upper camp musical and use our sophisticated art facilities. In addition to exploring the arts, having access to the LSJCC pools, and participating in special outings and workshops, CITs lead all-camp activities and special events.
