OUR CAMPS


Every year The Jewish Federation helps over 1,500 kids experience the great outdoors through Jewish overnight summer camps. Jewish youngsters get to enjoy a traditional summer camp while learning about Jewish culture and exploring their own Jewish identities.


Camp Akiba

For 50 years, Temple Akiba’s Resident Camp has provided a fun and safe environment for kids in 2nd through 11th grade. Camp Akiba celebrates Reform Judaism in creative and active ways through its camper led Shabbat and Havdalah Services, Israel awareness, cultural music, and education.

 



Camp Alonim

Established in 1953 Camp Alonim instilled its education philosophy to the community: To truly touch young people, they would have to experience Judaism through their senses—through art, music, Israeli folk dance and drama. In the nearly 60 years since, they have added sports, nature, and interactive learning to the repertoire of experiences for campers.

 


Camp Bob Waldorf

Camp Bob Waldorf is a nonprofit, non-denominational camp that is owned and operated by Jewish Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Los Angeles. Camp Bob Waldorf provides 1,500 underserved children each year with tolls, community, and support system requisite for success as they progress from elementary school to college.

Camp JCA Shalom

For over 60 years Camp JCA Shalom has been the “Camp of All Seasons”. Camp JCA Shalom’s vision of Tikkun Olam is fulfilled through a positive Jewish living experience. In a warm and supportive community environment, campers are able to live, learn, and play in a group setting that encourages personal growth and self-discovery.

Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps -
Gindling Hilltop Camp, Camp Hess Kramer


For over 65 years, Camp Hess Kramer and Gindling Hilltop Camp have been providing a dynamic and engaging environment where campers and staff become part of a community.  With the total destruction of both camps due to the Woolsey Fire and subsequent mudslides, Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps made a temporary home at Cal State University Channel Islands in the summer of 2019.  Summer 2020 saw “virtual camp” due to the Covid19 Pandemic; we hope to bring the programming, ruach and people that make camp camp, at Buckhorn in Idyllwild in the summer of 2021, helping our campers develop personal identity and self-esteem, build relationships, learn about Judaism, have fun, and increase their long-term commitment to their families, synagogues, and communities.
