Yeladim Groups

Camp Yeladim has a group for all preschool age children. Each age unit is designed to stimulate and challenge your child and maximize their day camp experience.

Shemesh “Sun” (2 year olds)

Our sunny two year olds get their first summer camp experience in the safety of gentle and supportive teachers. Your child is surrounded by loving and nurturing counselors who enrich your child with a wide variety of fun and educational experiences while meeting new friends and exploring new environments.

Keshet “Rainbow” (3 year olds)

Rainbow campers are ready to experience new friends and activities as they expand their awareness of the world around them. This age group will venture through the J jumping and running in the gym, playing in the pool, and learning water safety in group swim lessons.

Kochavim “Stars” (4 year olds)

Our oldest group of shining stars looks forward to movement throughout the morning. Trips to the pool for swimming, to the gym for sports, and to our art and music rooms keep our four year campers on the move! This camp is the perfect introduction over the summer to prepare your child to enter Pre-K and TK.


What Parents are saying about Camp Yeladim:

“Camp Yeladim was a great way for my kids to get acclimated to their new preschool. After the summer they already knew their classmates for fall!” ”

“Camp Yeladim was such a welcoming place for my kids to spend the summer. Our preschool is closed during the summer and Camp Yeladim was the perfect place for our kids during these months.”

 

“The Camp Yeladim counselors were outstanding! Our daughter is so excited to continue at the preschool in the fall.”
