Sephardic Adventure Camp 2026

Tuition:

CAMP: Full Session – June 21 – July 5 (available to all campers entering 3rd – 9th grade ) $2,950

One-week Session: June 21 – June 28 (available to entering 3rd & 4th graders) $2,100

The classic Sephardic Adventure Camp experience! Campers in grades 3–9 join their bunkmates and counselors for a full schedule of fun, adventure, and community. Every day brings a mix of exciting activities, creative programs, and classic camp traditions — from overnights and off-campus trips to color war and two unforgettable Sephardic Adventure Camp Shabbatot. It’s the perfect way to build friendships, explore new interests, and experience the magic of camp life.

CIT (Counselors in Training) June 21 – July 5 (Campers entering 10th grade) 

Our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program transforms our oldest campers into emerging leaders. Tenth graders gain hands-on experience by helping with bunks, leading Shabbat afternoon programs, and stepping up during color war. With weekly off-campus trips and access to their favorite camp activities, CITs enjoy the best of both worlds — leadership growth and all the fun of camp.

Avodah June 21 – July 5 (Campers entering 11th grade) $1000

New this year, the Avodah program gives incoming 11th graders a chance to step behind the scenes and make camp run! Participants take on daily shifts in the kitchen or maintenance, contributing meaningfully to camp life while learning valuable skills. Outside of their work hours, they join in on all the fun — activities, programs, and time with friends. Guided by their own program director, Avodah members become an essential part of the Sephardic Adventure Camp community.
