Camp Bob Waldorf offers Jewish Cultural Sessions as both a summer camp session and a weekend retreat. Jewish identity and values woven into every day. Open to all families.
Every camper rotates through activities throughout the summer. This means your child finds what they love and discovers things they didn’t know they could do.
Basketball, soccer, football, Ga-Ga, archery. Organized games and free play on our turf field and courts.
Climbing wall and high ropes. Trained ropes staff on site. Your child goes at their own pace.
Crafts, drama, singing, dance, and video production. Two dedicated art studios.
Horseback riding, hiking, animal care, cooking in our ranch kitchen, and time in the camp garden and greenhouse.
30-by-60-foot pool with certified lifeguards. Swim instruction and free swim daily.
Creek exploration, guided hikes through 112 acres, and time in our nature den learning about the local ecosystem.
A day at camp is packed full of activities that encourage campers to discover their interests and unique abilities. We strike a careful balance between structured programs and supervised free play, along with time as a full community and time spent in smaller groups according to grade level.
Your child wakes up in a cabin with their group, eats breakfast together in the dining hall, and heads into the morning rotation: sports, arts, ropes course, swimming, nature, ranch.
