ANNOUNCING SUMMER 2023:

One epic location, transportation - multiple bus stops,
and eight weeks of summer magic!

For more than ten years, In the City Camps has offered experiential and educational opportunities for children entering Kindergarten through 8th grade that combines all of the best parts of Jewish overnight camp in an affordable, accessible day camp package.

Our programming is designed to be an age-appropriate, culturally Jewish, and values-based experience for Jewish campers of all backgrounds, observance levels, and amounts of prior Jewish education. While gaining deep roots and a strong connection to their Jewish heritage, our campers also develop many of the essential values and life skills they need to become tomorrow’s Jewish leaders.

For more than a decade, thousands of Jewish children and tweens have formed lifelong friendships, created lasting memories, and strengthened their love and appreciation for their Jewish heritage through In the City Camps. We look forward to welcoming your child at our next session.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

SIX KEY ELEMENTS OF ITC

No matter where In the City Camps takes place, they come together to deliver a Jewish camp experience you won’t find anywhere else.

JEWISH CULTURE & VALUES

In the City Camps provides a culturally Jewish, values-based experience for Jewish campers of all backgrounds. Your child will sing Hebrew songs, make a tzedakah (charity) box at arts & crafts, bring home challah they learned to bake, perform mitzvot (good deeds) through volunteer projects, and cook some of Israel’s most delicious foods – all while strengthening 21st-century skills and connecting with Jewish children and staff from all over Atlanta.

JEWISH ROLE MODEL STAFF

When you send your child to In the City Camps, your camper will spend the day with mature, energetic, trained Jewish counselors they will look up to from day one. Our counselors are vital to the success of our program. We select, train, and nurture responsible young adults who embody the traits you want to see in your child. Because we understand the importance of a positive Jewish role model, our camp counselors are Jewish.

WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT

In the City Camps’ Jewishly diverse camper and staff makeup is one of the things that makes our camp community so unique. For many of our campers, In the City Camps is their first Jewish experience. Other campers may celebrate the holidays, go to Jewish day school, or attend Sunday school. Some campers have one Jewish parent, and some have two. Some have two mommies or two daddies. Some come to camp with physical, emotional, and medical challenges. Your child will build solid Jewish friendships in our unique environment that will last a lifetime.

CHOICE -BASED ACTIVITY

In the City Camps truly has something for everyone: Basketball, magic, art, dance, hockey, cooking, nature, soccer, field trips, talent shows, archery, Shabbat programming, and so much more! Our age-appropriate programming structure encourages campers to participate in activities they love and try new things. Trained activity specialists infuse activities with Jewish values like kavod (respect) and ahava (love) while strengthening 21st-century communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.

OVERNIGHT CAMP FEEL

We’re not babysitters or daycare. In the City Camps offers experiential and educational opportunities for children. Color War, s’mores, cool Jewish counselors, canteen, bunk time, lasting friendships, and more…all the best parts of Jewish overnight camp in a day camp package.

A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY

Physical and emotional safety is our number one priority at In the City Camps. Physically, we work with experts to implement security measures at each camp location. Counselors track and accompany campers to all activities. Lifeguards supervise campers at the pool. Emotionally, counselors practice empathetic listening to diffuse conflicts and report any concerns to camp leadership. Our head staff communicates directly with parents to address concerns.

“My son had an amazing summer at In the City Camps! We had such a positive experience and the staff was so attentive, responsive, and just all-around great! As we left camp on the last day, my son asked if he could go back to camp next summer and said he was counting down the days!”

“In The City Camps is phenomenal! We’ve had several wonderful summers and now I have a counselor and a camper there! Outstanding programming with a staff that genuinely cares about the kids and their experience. Thank you Eileen for this much needed additional option for Jewish summer camp experiences in Atlanta. ”

“Hands down the Best Summer Day Camp! My kids both had a blast! The counselors are AMAZING AND LOVING AND KIND AND THE BEST!”

“Our three boys will tell you first hand, they didn’t just like In the City Camps, they LOVED it!!!! They’ve been to many camps and it seems In the City Camps offered a Ruach, intimate setting, and unique format that really resonated with each of them. Each child has such a different personality and was able to pick the activity most appealing to them. They also enjoyed seeing each other at camp. Canteen was a big hit as well, not to mention Wednesday field trip day! They are already planning many more weeks at In the City Camps for next summer! As a parent, the staff and counselors stood out most. They were so incredibly nice and connected to all of the kids. This was evident and consistent with every interaction.”

I love the way you call out how camps support parents, as well as the kids. I can attest to this personally and professionally.
