ITC at a Glance

In the City Camps distinguishes itself in the world of summer camps by championing the power of choice. Recognizing that each child is unique, with their own blend of interests and passions, we've created an environment focused on self-discovery and personal growth. Moving away from traditional camp models, we avoid setting a rigid daily schedule. Instead, we empower our campers with the freedom to choose from a diverse range of activities, known as 'peulah', led by experienced adults. These activities are not just entertaining but are also crafted for in-depth learning and exploration. Our approach fosters independence and encourages campers to explore new interests and deepen existing ones, turning each day into a new adventure.

For our younger campers, from rising pre-K through 5th grade, the highlight of their day is the freedom to choose. Every day, they can select from a wide array of over 20 engaging activities (Peulah) four times a day. This flexibility allows them to explore various interests and develop new skills in a nurturing and supportive environment. Meanwhile, our Tween Academy, tailored for rising 6th to 8th graders, offers a more specialized experience. Tweens select an academy aligned with their interests, dedicating three periods each day to immerse themselves in their chosen specialty. In addition, they have the option to choose a traditional camp activity daily, creating a balanced experience that merges focused learning with classic camp fun. This structure caters to their evolving interests and ensures a comprehensive and enjoyable camp experience.

At the core of In the City Camps is our dedication to creating a community where children can be their authentic selves. Here, forming lasting friendships and experiencing significant personal growth are as important as the activities themselves. We celebrate each child's individuality, allowing them to express their unique interests and personality. This supportive environment, enriched with the joyous traditions of Jewish culture, sets the stage for cherished summer memories, character development, and lifelong connections to Jewish life. In the City Camps is more than just a place for summer fun; it's a haven for growth, learning, and belonging.
