Our individual camp days throughout the school year are $99. Please note that prices increase for camp days a week prior to their start date.
Upcoming School’s Out Camps:
Upcoming Camp Themes:
- Lunar New Year Camp: Wednesday, January 29 Happy New Year! At School’s Out Camp on January 29th, held on the celebration of the Lunar New Year, we will explore traditional new year’s customs in cultures around the world. Campers will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Jewish new year’s custom while building empathy and cross-cultural connections with celebrations in other communities. We hope to see you there!
- Bug Camp: Monday June 16-Friday June 20 Beetles, bumblebees, and butterflies – oh my! Kick off your summer with us by digging into the wide, wild world of bugs. What are they, where do they live, and what’s so Jewish about them? From the Franklin Institute to the Philadelphia Zoo to our very own neighborhood playground, campers will spend the week learning about the creepy, crawly creatures that are all around us, and what an important role they play in our lives!
- Time Travel through Philadelphia: Monday, August 25-Friday, August 29 (subject to change based on SDP calendar): Calling all historians, explorers, and time-travel experts to embark on an end-of-summer adventure! Makom campers will build their own time machines and use them to travel to different moments throughout time and space in our very own city, including field trips to Old City’s Story Benches and the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History. Campers will further investigate the ways that our city has forever shaped the history of our country, paying particular attention to the roles that Jewish communities throughout history have played in both Philadelphia’s and America’s stories.
