Camp Overview

Camp Bob Waldorf aims to enrich the lives of youth in the Greater Los Angeles area through the transformative experience of camp, regardless of socio-economic status. We operate retreats and summer programs through two camps: Kibbutz Bob Waldorf, a pluralistic Jewish camp, and Camp Bob Waldorf, a non-sectarian camp for children of any faith or culture. We serve campers throughout Greater Los Angeles that are classified as under-served or under-privileged.  Many campers come from low-income families, single-parent homes, foster care, or homeless shelters. Some of our Kibbutz campers are being mentored through our parent agency, Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters Los Angeles.
