Kochavim Summer Camp

KINGS BAY Y KOCHAVIM CAMP

Ages 5-14

Registration for Summer Camp 2024 is OPEN!

*SELF-DIRECTION AND RESPITE HOURS ACCEPTED*

We strongly believe that when every member of our community feels a sense of belonging, they are able to explore who they are and who they want to be, try new things, and venture outside their comfort zone. Our program is committed to providing a caring, welcoming environment for all children, including those with special needs.

Kochavim is made up of individuals who are similar, but also unique. It is our hope that together we can ensure that Kochavim encourages meaningful participation and creates a warm sense of community for all of us.

Your child will enjoy the fun-filled days of summer camp while learning important social and life skills. We use our daily activities to encourage them to build solid foundations for personal growth and independence. Kochavim campers will participate in a variety of activities modified to meet each child’s needs, under the supervision of experienced staff, with a high camper-to-counselor ratio. Program eligibility is determined by an interview and screening process.

They will have full access to our Indoor Junior Olympic Size swimming pool, rock-climbing walls, auditorium, 4,800 sq. ft. indoor gymnasium, outdoor playground, computer lab, video & recreational lounges, multiple classroom spaces, and more.  We have also contracted outdoor-field space from the KBYO to ensure campers are able to experience the best of both worlds from an activity standpoint. With highly trained and talented staff, your campers are sure to have an exciting and fun Summer!
