Camp JCA Shalom

Nestled in the beautiful, green, rolling hills of Malibu, the incredible Camp JCA Shalom campus will host our annual Overnight Retreats and provides the perfect setting for one Super Duper excursion into nature.

Just a 45 minute drive from L.A., Camp JCA's campus feels like a magical world away to any camper, with its natural beauty and old camp charm that many of us remember from childhood. With over 40 Acres of beautiful grass fields, trees, hiking trails, gardens and even a creek running right through campus, it's facilities also include camper bunks, swimming pool, garden center, basketball court, play structures, art facilities, amphitheater, a brand new dining hall, a health center plus an Adventure Center and a Pioneer Living Center.

By night, we’ll be roasting marshmallows, singing songs, and telling stories around the campfire. Then it’s off to sleep in the JCA accommodations. In the morning, we'll start our day with a hearty, healthy breakfast in the mess hall as we dive into a whole new day of fun and adventure!

Camp JCA also has a Pioneer Living Center, where it’s all about getting back to basics and learning old fashioned skills like:

What It’s All About

Our overnight retreats are also the perfect introduction into the sleep away camp experience for those campers who crave the experience but who may be not quite ready for a full week or more away from home.

Living in Los Angeles, we may not get the opportunity to spend some time outdoors in nature as often as we like. It’s easy to get caught up in city life and forget to make some time for ourselves and our kids to just get outside, breathe some fresh air and experience the joys of being in a natural environment. The Camp JCA Shalom campus in Malibu, and the experience we’ll have there are an oasis of goodness for the soul that every child needs.
