Join us for dance, music, art, nature, and imagination, brought to life with a compassionate, enthusiastic staff.
Harmony is a creative, joyful, movement-based arts camp in which kids feel encouraged, supported, and can be their full selves. This year we are offering two weeks of Spring Break Camp (sign up by the day) as well as a full month of Summer Camp (sign up by the week) through early September when other camps have closed. Our experienced team of teachers will lead dance and movement classes, art and sensory experiences, play time in nature, music classes, group games, circle time, and freeplay inspired by our weekly themes. We spend lots of time outside on our beautiful tree-filled grounds, and summer camp includes water play.
Beth David’s mission around Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World) extends to our youngest learners, too! We focus on community building among the group, encouraging thoughtfulness about the many people who compose our community and how to care for the people and spaces around us.
Our low staff-to-child ratio means plenty of personalized attention and a great environment for young children and even for a first camp or drop-off experience. Families receive regular photos and activity updates.
Harmony strives to create a space for people of all bodies, abilities, races, ethnicities, and genders to feel welcome and loved and celebrated. Our staff embodies this, too. You do not need to be a member of Beth David to attend our camp! We encourage interfaith and multicultural families to join us – there is no requirement to be Jewish. Our education model consistently talks about many cultures, races, genders, and abilities, and leaves lots of space for multiple approaches to spirituality. The Jewish values integrated into our program are universal and relevant to all people, such as joy, curiosity, and kindness. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or want to make sure our programs are a great fit for your family.
