JAMS Jewish Summer Camp
Camp Dates:
1 week: June 16-20, 2025
Hours
9:00 AM - 3:30 PM
Ages and Program
Campers are rising K - rising 4th grade. Our campers enjoy daily outings, hiking, art, stem, sports, drama, cooking, specialists, swimming, field trips, and more!
Cost
Sliding scale of $350-$425 per week
Why the sliding scale?
We know that stimulating and enriching summer programs are important to a child's development, and we want to make sure our camp is accessible to all families. The lower end of the sliding scale is the discounted rate, the upper end of the sliding scale is the true representation of the cost of camp. Families can choose how much they are able to pay in this range.
Food
We will provide 2 kosher and wholesome snacks AND a lunch daily. Parents need to send only a labeled water bottle.
Location
Camp takes place at the beautiful outdoor space of a home on Butterfield Rd in San Anselmo. Occcasionally, we will use the indoor space for a special activity. In addition, (using vans as transportation) the children will go on daily excursions to parks, playgrounds, hike in nature, as well as swim at least 3x/week. We are outside 75% of the day!
