BB Day Camp Portland and Youth Programs provide meaningful and memorable experiences within a safe and nurturing community to build life-long friendships and deepen Jewish identity. Our age-appropriate and youth centered programs inspire confidence, encourage self-expression, and build an inclusive and welcoming community. BB Day Camp and Youth Programs provides opportunities for children to experience camp in the city, discover new interests, and explore Portland in a new way. Our team of well-trained counselors and staff are carefully selected based on their abilities and love for working with children, skills in supervision, leadership, and positive role modeling.
Our Inclusive Philosophy: BB Camp is proud to be a boundless Kehila (community) of different ages, denominations, backgrounds, languages, and abilities. When you are part of a community like this — one that accepts and encourages everyone’s strengths — it’s life changing. Campers and staff learn about themselves and relating to others, form a family of friends they’ll have for life, and of course, have a lot of fun along the way!
BB Day Camp Portland provides a welcoming and fun summer camp environment for children entering kindergarten through grade 6. Days at camp are full of classic camp activities such as art, athletics, crafts, music, dance, drama, and of course, gaga! Each week offers age-appropriate themes, dress-up days, and field trips! Choose any weeks from eight weeks of fun!
