The Beginning of Belonging

Salt-air, sunrises, cabin songs, and laughter around the fire, this is the story of belonging, built on 75 summers of friendship, fun, and Jewish life by the sea.

From our roots in 1952 to today, camp has been a place where traditions are lived, adventures unfold, and campers finds their place in the world.

Where It All Began

Our journey started in 1952 when Rabbi Alfred Wolf of Wilshire Boulevard Temple envisioned a place where youth, teens, and young adults could discover their Jewish identity in a safe, joyful environment. Over the years, our programs have grown, our traditions have deepened, and our invitation has always stayed the same: come as you are and find your place here.

Jewish Life at Camp

Jewish values are a part of every day. Shabbat under the stars, Hebrew songs around the campfire, the power of community woven into everything we do. We help campers feel proud of who they are and connected to something bigger.

What Makes Us Different

Open Arms

All Jewish backgrounds belong here. From just-curious to deeply connected, everyone feels quickly at home.

Joyfully Jewish

Shabbat at sunset, blessings on the breeze, Israeli dancing that inspires smiles. Jewish life feels natural, joyful, and alive.

Purposeful Play

Art, sports, music, adventure. Camp looks like fun because it is, and it quietly grows confidence, empathy, and resilience along the way.

Leading with Love

From mitzvah moments to teen leadership and CIT, campers practice lifting others up and learn how to lead from their hearts.

Safety You Can Feel

Caring counselors, seasoned pros, and a calm, steady rhythm lets kids stretch while parents breathe easy.

Choices & Cheers

Electives that match their mood plus specialty tracks like Yahm Surf and Kef B’Yahm. Campers try it all, find a favorite, come home glowing.

A Legacy of Summer, Spirit & Connection

Because belonging lasts. Employees who were campers, counselors who became friends, camp families spanning generations. Camp life unfolds over time, shaped by the joy of the people who keep coming back.
