Summer Camp
2023 Registration Is Open!
During summer camp we play, plant, sing, work, and get to know life on an urban farm. We get our hands dirty in the field, and we enjoy the fruits of our labors — fresh, delicious, organic produce! Through farm chores and responsibilities, self-directed play in our engaging spaces, and project-based nature and farm activities we learn about the natural world and explore community, teamwork, and the interconnectedness of all things.
There’s a place for all ages at camp!
Sprouts Camp is for 3 – 5 year olds
Roots Camp is for rising 1 – 6 graders
The CIT Program is open to select rising 7 – 9 graders
The Camp Intern Program is for high school students
And… we are always looking for Camp Staff, we hire counselors ages 17+ *
* Applications Coming Soon!
What Happens At Summer Camp?
Daily activities at Summer Camp include gardening, feeding chickens and collecting eggs, music and stories, farm-to-fork food preparation with our bicycle powered blender and solar oven, arts and crafts, nature connection activities, and more. We do everything through the lens of Jewish tradition and storytelling, whether it be through our shomrei adamah farm activities, or eco-mitzvot songs. Each day, campers enjoy time with their own age-specific groups, choose their own afternoon free-choice specialty with campers of all ages, and experience all-camp games. We open and close every day as a whole camp community with circle time, songs, storytelling, and acts of love and kindness.
* Sprouts Camp includes 40 minutes of relaxation — a time for campers to lay down and nap, listen to stories and songs, and practice mindfulness.

Camp Specialist Internship
A Special Opportunity for Young Adults
Experience a summer of living communally on an urban farm and working with children at summer camp. This internship offers young adults aged ~19-22 the opportunity to build their skills in a particular speciality (art, cooking, music, or farming), teach children in a spirit of mindfulness and joy, and live in community with other peers.
WE ARE COVID-19 READY
All eligible campers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least two weeks prior to the start of camp. All campers must have received a booster in addition to initial vaccination. Proof of vaccination will be required on the first day of camp. All camp staff are required to be fully vaccinated with a booster shot.
- Low COVID-19 Community Levels in Alameda County: Campers and staff will not be required to mask outside. They will wear masks inside.
- Medium or High COVID-19 Community Levels: Campers and staff will be required to wear masks at all times.
Please send your camper with at least two comfortable, breathable masks each day in their backpack.
No matter what, we will hand-sanitize and wash hands frequently! We ask kiddos to bring all their own snacks and lunch for health and safety reasons. We clean bathrooms regularly, equipment sanitized and disinfected before use each day, offer individual places to store camper belongings, and require plenty of hand sanitizer, hand washing, and self-applied sunscreen!
Given that our programming will take place outdoors, we have few options for campers indoors should the AQI reach this level. We will contact parents and ask for pickup within 2 hours. During days of poor air quality, please have your phones on and stay close by to the farm, so that you are able to pick up your child if need be.
Summer Camp Staff
Camp Urban Adamah is led by an extraordinary group of outdoor educators. These experienced and talented individuals create loving, inspiring, memorable, and transformative experiences for our campers.
