Temple akiba summer programs
Akiba Day Camp
A fixture at Temple Akiba since 1967, Akiba Day Camp is a community-based program to enhance the summer for children entering kindergarten through 10th grade. Akiba Day Camp is carefully designed to provide all campers with a unique experience that includes activities that kids enjoy most and uses them to encourage personal accomplishment and group cooperation.
Over the course of the summer, campers build self-confidence and develop positive attitudes by trying and succeeding at diverse new activities. Whether it’s swimming, arts and crafts, or playing a new sport, by interacting with their peers, campers learn the importance of participating with others and building successful relationships. They also have the opportunity to grow their Jewish identity with special Shabbat programming on Fridays.
We support and celebrate each camper’s abilities and encourage our campers to be active, proud, courageous, responsible and cooperative. We also understand that these goals are best accomplished in a friendly, safe, comfortable and clean environment.
Akiba Resident Camp
Beginning in 1965, Akiba Resident Camp has provided Jewish youth with an inclusive and immersive Camp experience – always filled with expected traditions and new, creative programming from our home-grown and trained Akiba Staff.
Although we do not own a campsite, Akiba Resident Camp can become your home away from home no matter where we go. First time and seasoned campers always walk away feeling like family and with a renewed love for their Jewish roots and the outdoors!
