Camp JCA Shalom

What It’s All About


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. 


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.


And, not to mention, its an exhilarating, empowering, and fun time your child will not soon forget!
