Camp Y-HO-CA: Grades 1-6 Our most "historical" camp for over 4 decades is Y-HO-CA whose initials mean "Y" HOME CAMP. The days are filled with sports, swim, nature, cooking, hiking, crafts, drama, and music. This is a camp open to everyone of all backgrounds and is considered our most "culturally diverse" program. One of our social goals is to teach everyone how to live together happily and harmoniously. Five trips highlight a summer of busy and productive days. Many of our counselors have been campers in the past, and want to come back to share their wonderful experiences! Y-HO-CA campers are well-known throughout the community for their wonderful theatrical presentations, which delight audiences every summer!	Camp Chaverim: Grades 1-6 This is our very successful division geared just for the children who are Yeshiva students, with an emphasis on Jewish learning and Lifestyle. The entire philosophy is geared towards the Jewish observant family. Campers begin each day with davening, and the boys are encouraged to wear Tzitzit and Kipot. Brachos will be recited before and after meals; and the three week period (Shiva Asar B'Tammuz until Tisha B'av) will be observed. Kashrut is closely monitored in the building and while out on trips. Clubs meet at least twice a week and offer each child the opportunity to choose their own creative activities. Chaverim enjoys their very own section of the outdoor camp area, as well as their own section inside the facility. A strong feeling of Ruach occurs as soon as our campers are welcomed into Camp in the morning, greeted with music and smiles! Five exciting trips will be scheduled throughout the summer, including the all-famous Sesame Place for our youngest groups, and Dorney Park for the Older campers. Baseball games. Museums, Shows, Zoos, Sporting events, other indoor and outdoor amusement parks all help to make a wonderful and special summer. The"famous" Chaverim maccabiah, end-of-the-year Show and Carnival make this the camp your kids will want to come back to, year after year!	Camp Kinneret: Grades 1-6 We are so proud of our newest camp, which is expected to double in size this season! Enjoying an "Israeli flavor", this division offers an emphasis on Jewish culture and tradition, geared for the non-orthodox child. The Staff is knowledgeable and trained in Jewish ideology and successfully incorporates Jewish and Israeli content into most activities; Swimming, Crafts, Cooking, Theatre Arts, Sports and Trips. The Campers will have access to our new Computer Lab. Each week a different theme will be presented about the state of Israel: ranging from Food and climate, to history and celebrations. Each week the Oneg Shabbat will be presented by a different group. There will be five trips offered throughout the summer, as scheduled on your calendar.
Teen Get-Away: 7th, 8th, & 9th Grade By far, one of the most popular Teen Programs in our area! Teens join together to travel everyday to unique and exciting places. A select group (limited to 40) leave the "Y" every morning at 9:15 AM, and usually return by 4PM. There are about a dozen "later" pick-ups when they travel to Amusement Parks, Baseball Games, or out-of-state. Fridays are the only time the Teens will be "on-campus". A wide variety of activities are avaliable for our Teens like; Early morning bowling league, swimming, crafts, sports, and computers. The Staff consists of Adults, Teachers, and College students.

The outdoor wading pool and sand area make for a beach-like environment. Each week has a special theme, incorporating Jewish education and culture. Sports, crafts, music, nature, drama, cooking, and special enrichment programs all add up to a busy and exciting day.

Hands-on activities allow each child to maximize their personal creativity and expression. Four to five mini-trips are scheduled throughout the eight-week period, and entertainment such as Clowns, Magic shows, and pony rides come right on to our grounds! Most of our highly- trained staff are Early childhood educators Teachers, and parents. We prefer your child to be "potty-trained", but if they are "Border-line", we will be happy and patient in helping to train them. Our Staff to camper ratio is 4 to 1; if your child is too young for this environment, we will be pleased to refer them to our qualified DayCare Program, which begins at 6 weeks old. Campers are grouped according to age, with preference given to those who request to be together with a "friend(s)". A special show is put on by the Kinders themselves on a Friday afternoon in mid-August.	. Torah Sports Camp-Grades 7-9 Welcome to Boys who love sports.
