Every year JFEDLA 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
Since 1965, Temple Akiba’s Resident Camp has provided a safe and inclusive space for campers in 3rd to 11th grade to explore their Judaism in nature. Our values include community, personal development, creativity, connection, team work, service, responsibility and RUACH!
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 Gesher
CAMP GESHER is the only overnight camp for Russian-speaking Jewish families in North America. Camp Gesher provides an innovative, educational program, focusing on Russian-Jewish culture, traditions, and Israel through a non-religious lens. Gesher spearheads year-round camps and weekend experiences engaging the Russian-speaking Jewish community in Southern California, and beyond.
Camp Gilboa
Since 1936, Camp Gilboa has provided summer and winter camps, creative leadership training and year around programing. By nurturing a love of Israel and Jewish tradition, our youth strive for a better world- grounded in the values of social and economic justice, peaceful coexistence, environmental stewardship and mutual respect.
Camp JCA Shalom
Camp JCA Shalom is an inclusive and welcoming Jewish overnight camp experience, delivering camp magic throughout the year with summer and seasonal camps. Through our cabin-centered camping approach, the cabin stays together throughout the day, helping to form strong cabin bonds and friendships throughout the session.
Camp Ramah
At Camp Ramah, thousands of children, teens, and young adults come together each summer in communities that nurture social, educational, physical, and spiritual growth, creating lifelong friendships, a love for Israel, and a strong Jewish Identity.
For over 70 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.
Moshava Alevy
Moshava Alevy is a part of Bnei Akiva of Los Angeles, and provides year-round and most specifically summer programming that offers children a safe, fun, and warm environment with roots in Am Yisrael, Eretz Yisrael, and Torat Yisrael. Moshava Alevy invites boys and girls ages 8-15 to spend summer with us in Running Springs, CA for summer you won't forget!
