Camp Bob Waldorf. Overnight camp in Los Angeles since 1938.

Owned and operated by Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles and proudly open to children of all backgrounds.

Camp Bob Waldorf sits on 112 acres in the Verdugo Hills of Glendale, 15 miles from Downtown Los Angeles. We run overnight summer camps and weekend retreats for kids in grades 2 through 12.

Built on four values.

Everything at Camp Bob Waldorf comes back to four words: Community, Identity, Inclusion, Respect. They guide how we hire counselors, how we organize cabins, how we resolve conflicts, and how we treat every person on this property.

Your child will hear these words at camp. They’ll also feel them in the way a counselor remembers their name, the way cabin groups make decisions together, and the way every camper is included regardless of ability, background, or identity.

Helping LA kids grow, belong, and thrive.

Camp Bob Waldorf is accredited by the American Camping Association, which verifies our compliance with over 300 nationally recognized standards for operation. Camp Bob Waldorf is owned and operated by Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles, a 100-year-old nonprofit organization that provides a range of innovative, impactful programs to assist youth in achieving their full potential.

Camp Bob Waldorf changed my life when I was 8 and 9 years old and had no idea what direction my life would take. The Foundation ensures that the camp is here for kids like me forever.

Sandy Sigal, VP of the Foundation for Camp Bob Waldorf and former camper

I just felt so welcome. It was the best memories I've ever had. It really shaped who I am today.

Chris, Counselor

Camp Bob Waldorf is one of the best place ever to come to when you're a kid. And you're coming from a hard time and you just need to get away.

Natalie, Former Camper
