Camp @ JCC East Bay offers intimate Jewish day camp experiences where TK–4th-graders build healthy friendships, develop new skills, test personal limits, and join together to create an amazing community in a fun, safe setting. Campers swim twice weekly, receiving both instruction and free swim time.

Traditional Day Camp offers a well-rounded summer experience blending music, art, sports, swimming, cooking, and classic camp games. Through daily activities, Shabbat celebrations, and special events, campers practice Jewish values like welcoming new friends, learning from others, and treating each other respectfully.

Sababa Hebrew Immersion Day Camp brings Hebrew language and Israeli culture to life through hands-on activities, music, cooking, art, and outdoor play. Campers learn Hebrew naturally, by doing and creating, supported by Hebrew‑speaking specialists who make each day engaging and full of kef (fun).

We partner with Wilderness Torah to offer nature‑based camp fun that highlights our connection to our beautiful surroundings. Campers enjoy outdoor exploration, field trips, and activities that blend outdoor education, Jewish learning, and community building. This partnership deepens campers’ relationship with the natural world and provides meaningful experiences that cultivate nature connection in a Jewish context.

Both options are designed for families seeking a nurturing, community‑centered environment where children can build confidence, explore their interests, and feel deeply connected to Jewish life and to one another.
