Part of Northern California’s largest network of Jewish day camps. Known for creative programs, exciting activities and trips, lots of spirit and love for the outdoors at the Emerson Elementary School playground.

Camp’s success lies in lively, enthusiastic counselors who serve as role models, offering children lasting friendship.

Overnights include trips to the American River and Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
