Kings Bay Y Kochavim Camp
Ages 5-14
*Self-Direction Accepted*
Kochavim Camp fosters a sense of belonging and inclusivity for all children, including those with special needs, providing a caring and welcoming environment where they can explore their identities and try new experiences. Through a variety of activities tailored to each child’s needs and overseen by experienced staff, campers develop important social and life skills, laying the groundwork for personal growth and independence.
