Camp Haverim, Santa Barbara's homegrown Jewish day-camp, which is accredited by the American Camp Association, is back for its 5th season! Camp Haverim is led by its experienced director, Itzik Ben Sasson. Itzik works with rabbis, educators and parents from the greater Santa Barbara Jewish community to offer your child a rich and rewarding camp experience. Camp Haverim fosters friendships and engages campers in fun, interesting and exciting activities - all in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment.

Camp Haverim's mission is to provide a high-quality Jewish summer camp experience that fosters the children's social, moral, cultural, physical and emotional education and development. Camp Haverim is a supportive, caring community camp with an upbeat Jewish flavor and is committed to serving families regardless of their background or ability to pay.

Camp Haverim knows that the success or failure of any camp rests squarely on the shoulders of its staff, counselors and supervisors, so we go to great lengths to get the very best. Itzik Ben Sasson, who has a broad range of experience and expertise directing an array of programs providing social and educational opportunities for our community and our children, will once more be the Camp Director. Our senior counselors are predominantly college students. Our counselors in training and junior counselors are primarily local high school students with special skills and training. Many of our staff are themselves former campers. They care about our campers, and it shows.
