Testimonials
What parents & campers say about Camp Urban Adamah…
“It was really fun! My favorite part was planting. And I also liked that you do a lot of nice stuff like write in a journal about a special plant that you really like. And they have really nice counselors.”
“This camp is just so wonderful! Values of kindness and respect for the earth and for each other are woven into every element of the day, from opening circle to singing, crafting, cooking, and caring for animals. My 7-year-old son came home happy and dirty every day, eager to go back the next morning! Staff are committed and caring. We love this camp!”
“Urban Adamah is the Bay Area as it's best, where diversity and inclusion is above all. The fact that you can pick up chickens, see the new baby goat and bike to make smoothies is icing on the cake!”
“My daughter loves to come to camp at Urban Adamah. I feel great bringing her there, hearing the positive and inclusive counselors engage her, and seeing the happy kids excited about the plants and animals. I especially love seeing it all come together at the end of the week Shabbat celebration – food and drink harvested from the earth, made by the children in the spirit of community and gratitude. It’s a beautiful thing!”
“We affectionately call Urban Adamah ‘Happy Jewish Farm Camp’ in our family. Our girls learned so much, had a good time, and enjoyed the whole experience. As parents, we appreciate that the environment and the programs seamlessly integrate Jewish values and lessons into growing hearts and minds. We also loved seeing the fun projects they did at camp (the pickles & butter came home) and the bicycle pesto was really good! Thanks Urban Adamah staff and counselors for another great experience for our family!”
“You have an amazing group of people who work at Urban Adamah, with wide hearts, and a lot of wisdom. We love how you weave Judaism with environmental education. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived in the morning. You’ve created a magical world at Urban Adamah.”
“Urban Adamah was better than great for so many reasons, especially because the snack was super-duper good every day. It was so cool to be able to help pick the vegetables and make the pizza!”
“Urban Adamah is a magical experience where city kids can not only learn about the food and animals that we eat, but gain an appreciation for the gift of nature and the gift of community.”
