OUR CAMP PHILOSOPHY

We are on a mission to fill childhood summers with joy, curiosity, adventure and community.

Camp Carmel Creek is a unique specialty camp with a classic camp feel, which is to say that our campers can expect to have all the experiences they love in a day camp, while getting to choose the activities they are most passionate about doing each day.

We also know summer camp isn’t just for kids. Parents are always in-mind as we create our summer camp experiences. We provide flexible scheduling, a state-of-the-art safe facility and top-tier staff and camp leadership. San Diego parents have many camp choices and put hours of thought into planning summer activities. We want to make that choice a little easier - you won’t even need to pack a lunch!

A LITTLE ABOUT US

Camp Carmel Creek summer camp is a community offering created by San Diego Jewish Academy. We recognized an opportunity to bring a unique kind of summer camp experience to San Diego families and we are excited to be launching our inaugural year at Camp Carmel Creek for summer 2023.
