Neil Klatskin Day Camp (Kaplen JCC on the Palisades)

Neil Klatskin Day Camp provides the ultimate summer of outdoor adventure, friendship, and nonstop fun. Days are filled with a diverse range of activities that allow each camper to explore their interests in a warm and safe environment.

Camp Katan

Age 2
Camp Katan is our first camp experience for our younger campers. It introduces young children to an interactive experience in a caring, warm environment. Our staff are trained to help young children separate from parents and caregivers and become independent proud campers and learners. This summer adventure features daily indoor and outdoor play, splashing around our fabulous water park with exciting water activities, special programs such as story time, foam parties, singing, Shabbat celebrations and more. Opt for the full 5 days (Mon-Fri). Hours are 9 am -12 pm.

Camp Mavar

Age 3
Camp Mavar is our introductory camp program for all campers turning three by 10/15/23. Mavar campers will be exposed to the different activities that Neil Klatskin Day Camp has to offer in a package appropriate for 3 year olds. Campers are not required to be potty trained, but we do encourage it.

Camp Kadima

Age 4
Camp Kadima offers a nurturing, supportive and structured experience for preschool campers turning four by 10/15/23. Special attention is given to meet the physical needs of each child, while fostering social growth and emotional development. Air-conditioned rooms serve as home-base out of the summer heat, but campers also enjoy all that our outdoor campus has to offer, including the splash pad, pools, and expansive fields. With all the fun in store, a quiet period is built-into the schedule, and a rest period for those who opt for the extended day option. A minimum of three counselors supervise each group, with at least one adult.

Camp G’dolim

Grades K-5
Camp G’dolim is an experience of a lifetime for school aged kids. Days are filled with adventure and a range of activities, allowing kids to explore their interests. With unbelievable variety, children are empowered to shape their camp days while building leadership and social skills in an encouraging environment. New age-appropriate experiences are introduced at every level, keeping kids challenged. Theme days and special entertainment take the excitement and fun of camp to the next level. Our weekly Shabbat celebrations ignite such an incredible sense of community and joy among our campers that they look forward to it all week! Groups are single sex or co-ed and are supervised by two to three staff members. Kindergarten groups have three counselors and have post-graduate head counselors.

Eligibility Campers need to meet with our Special Needs and Inclusion Coordinators before the summer begins to develop a plan and determine goals for the summer.
