Traditional Camps: Kindergarten

K'tonton: Two-Week Camp for Campers Entering Kindergarten

K’tonton supports your child’s transition into kindergarten with a wide variety of exciting activities in a safe and nurturing environment. Every two-week session will be a unique experience, full of fun and engaging activities, run by your favorite J-Camp counselors. Counselors will encourage creative expression through arts and crafts, STEM, outdoor exploration, sports, cooking and Jewish culture.

Campers will also enjoy recreational swim two times a week at our OFJCC aquatics facility, in the heated indoor pool. Counselors will facilitate fun activities that promote appropriate water play to increase the camper's level of comfort in the pool.

The first Wednesday of each session will feature a highlight performance or instructor. On the second Wednesday, K'tonton will travel off campus for a fun and engaging field trip. Field trips are planned with younger campers in mind, beginning with destinations that are suitable for campers that have never left campus, and will build as they gain new skills and become more adventurous.

Every Friday is filled with non-stop excitement! Campers will begin their Fridays with outrageously fun All-Camp Events on the field at our Freidenrich Community Park. Great new All-Camp event themes include, Summer Splash Zone and Best of J-Camp Celebration! Following the All-Camp Event, we will join together as a J-Camp mishpacha (family) and enjoy a kosher-style hot dog BBQ in the OFJCC town square.

J-Camp will celebrate the end of every week with performances, slideshows and Shabbat songs in the Schultz Cultural Arts Hall.
K'tonton campers will have the opportunity to participate in our J-Camp sleepover during the last week of camp. Sleepovers are a great way for your camper to bond with their friends and counselors as they participate in fun activities such as movie in the park, glow in the dark party, making s'mores and more!
