Yeladim & Kadima 

4th–7th grades

The best way to ensure that younger campers make a smooth transition to life away from home is by individually tailoring the summer experience to meet the unique needs, interests and maturity of each camper. Camp Chi’s shortened sessions are the perfect introduction to overnight camp.

The daily schedule of Yeladim (4th-5th grades) and Kadima (6th-7th grades) is optimized to provide campers with an opportunity to experience the breadth of Chi activities while still having the chance to select specialties.  Campers enjoy outstanding evening programs, field trips and and Chi ruach (spirit) under the nurturing guidance of their counselors.

Two 12 day sessions are offered during the summer. These sessions can be combined with 6 weeks at a JCC Day Camp through the 2+2+4 program. To register for 2+2+4, please call your local day camp office.
