Camp Tzofim

The atmosphere of Camp Tzofim encourages children entering kindergarten through grade ten to make new discoveries and to learn about the world around them in a safe environment. Campers have the opportunity to take swimming lessons and participate in trips and overnights. Exploring nature, making friendships, engaging in the arts, sports and social growth are activities and skills that we emphasize during our summer program.
We provide campers with the opportunity to explore concepts and themes in Jewish culture and history. Each week a special Jewish theme is designated, such as Sephardic Jewry, Israel at 60-years-old or Jewish heroes and heroines throughout history. Throughout the week, kids engage in activities and projects based on this theme. On Fridays, all of Camp Tzofim joins in an interactive program and a celebration of Shabbat.
Voted the Best Day Camp in the East Bay by J Magazine, Camp Tzofim encourages children to forge friendships nurtured by the camp experience. We endeavor to create a community that is cooperative, supportive and positive.

Camp Tzofim is pleased to be a part of the East Bay Regional Park District’s Day Camp Outreach Program. Cooperative efforts with the EBRPD have provided us with great opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of our local parks.

Location
Camp Tzofim’s main site is at 4500 Redwood Road in Oakland, below Merritt Junior College. Camp Tzofim has its own park sites at Joaquin Miller and Roberts Parks. The camp also runs field trips and excursions to many other Bay Area locations.
