Kochav Day Camp

What you think of, when you think of summer camp



Kochav Day Camp encompasses a wide range of everything the JCCSF, the Bay Area and summertime have to offer. Each day is filled with excitement: swimming, sports, art, music, drama, nature, lake trips, adventures on the town, theme days and overnight camping. Each week ends with a festive all-out, all-camp Shabbat celebration.


Imbued with Jewish values and traditions, Camp Kochav is a social experience where children build strong friendships and lasting memories. Our experienced staff construct a nurturing, respectful environment where children develop self-esteem as they meet new challenges in age-appropriate activities and bond with a community of peers.

Camp Kochav welcomes children from all faiths and backgrounds.

Kochav activities include:
  • Daily outdoor play
  • Recreational swimming in the JCCSF pool
  • Outdoor lake trip at least once per session
  • Theme days
  • One-night overnight camping trips for grades 3 – 5 (Sessions 1 – 4)
  • Weekly trips to area parks and playgrounds
  • Low camper-to-counselor ratios
  • Mifcad (morning circle) with skits, songs and camp spirit
  • Weekly all-camp Shabbat celebrations


Note: There is no "make-up" or alternative programming for campers who choose not to attend the overnight or any other off-site activity.
