Preschool Camps: Summer Camp

Summer Camp: Age 18 months - Pre K

Camp Keff (Keff means fun in Hebrew) is a safe, exciting, and transformative
experience for preschoolers and their families. We are an inclusive Jewish
community that celebrates diversity. Camp Keff is a community where people
of all backgrounds can grow, learn, and deepen their connections to one
another. Campers spend fun-filled days enjoying new experiences, making
new friends, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

“I think Camp Keff is a warm, loving, fun-filled environment
where my child can blossom!” -- 2011 Camp Keff Parent

A rotation through several learning environments that are set up with the “Five Basic Materials” (clay, paint, sand, water, and blocks) will entice your child to discover exciting new activities. Afternoons give your child a choice between two theme-based programs or an afternoon nap. Swimming included.
