CAMP PROGRAM INFO: 100 Years of Friendship and Fun
B’nai B’rith Camp (lovingly known as “BB Camp”) is a rite of passage for thousands of kids, their parents, their grandparents… and yes, even their GREAT grandparents for over 100 years. Generation after generation has loved and longed to return to this ultra-inclusive sanctuary on the stunning Oregon coast.
To Go to BB Camp is to be Obsessed with BB Camp
We welcome you to this magical community that nourishes lifelong friendships, leadership skills, and spiritual growth. All year, kids from the Pacific Northwest and beyond anticipate returning to camp to disconnect from everyday life and reunite with friends, counselors, and staff.

Whether it’s for a day at our day camps or multiple weeks at our overnight camps, we ground everything we do in a perfect combination of fun, meaning, and togetherness, based on Jewish values and rituals. We aim to ensure every child feels seen, heard, safe, and more confident than when they arrived.

Choose Your Own Adventure
On any given day, you’ll find kids and teens boating on Devil’s Lake, challenging themselves on the ropes course, ziplining through the field, or participating in performing arts, crafts, and nature. BB Camp is bursting with activities from the active to the serene, and we always end the week celebrating Shabbat as a camp community.

Our Staff is Our Secret Sauce
BB Camp would not be BB Camp without its campers-turned-counselors who know the culture and ethos of this magical place through and through. Our well-trained, dedicated, and caring staff are crucial to the experience.

Where Diversity Thrives and Belonging Blossoms
BB Camp is proud to be a boundless Kehila (community) of different ages, denominations, backgrounds, languages, and abilities. No matter where you come from or what your background may be, you’ll find a place to belong at BB Camp.

We welcome campers from diverse communities, including those from Russian-speaking and Hebrew-speaking households (with specialized financial aid and grants available!), as well as campers of all ages and abilities. Whether your child has physical disabilities, autism, hearing impairments, visual impairments, learning disabilities, speech or language impairments, or any other unique needs, our team is here to provide the inclusive and supportive environment they deserve.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Skyhawks Sports Camps are SAFETY FOCUSED!

At Skyhawks we go the extra mile to focus on safety, and we have a long-standing proven safety track record and processes to prove it. For example, all Skyhawks Sports camps start and end with our unique safety process called "Gate System and Parking Lot Duty." This process is where coaches come and greet both parents and campers in the parking lot when parents pull up to drop off their children.

Our staff guide the kids onto the field/court and out of harm's way by funneling them into our gate system. Eye contact is maintained from each one of our staff members until the kids make it onto the field/court where they are grouped by age. This efficient process ensures safety. Additionally, it develops a level of trust between parent, coach, and child that ultimately leads to a fun and skill-focused camp for youth.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: REG Camps:
REGular Camps are the core of what we do. Imagine seven action packed days of fun and learning at our main camp on the shores of Big Lake. Days are filled with excitement, challenge, reflection and loads of friends, both new and old. Campers experience the best of what Big Lake has done for over 50 years … creating fun and building kids. REG Campers sign up for a primary activity they focus on each morning, Monday-Friday, and they rotate with their cabin mates through the other activities we offer each afternoon.

RAD Camps:
For those seeking extra moments of awesomeness, RAD Camps go beyond our REG Camp program, offering you both an on and off-site experience. Sign up for a RAD Camp and spend all day doing what you love! With your mornings and afternoons spent conquering your RAD Camp of choice, you are sure to learn some great new skills. Whether it’s on water, wheel, stone, or stallion, you’re in for an intense week of fun! RAD Camps are for teenagers 13-17 years of age.

Adventure Camp:
This REG Camps is designed to introduce younger children into the world of summer camping. Adventure camp offers a slower pace and the week is a little shorter. Adventure campers get a taste of everything Big Lake is about. Instead of selecting one primary activity, your camper will get to try them all!

Abba's Child:
This free week of camp is specifically designed for kids who have experienced the death of an immediate family member in the recent past. Abba’s Child campers get to hang out with other kids who know what they are going through, participate in support-based counseling, and get to experience many of the awesome activities Big Lake offers. Whether you would like to nominate someone to attend, or donate to keep this camp going, we’d love to hear from you. Our goal for Abba's Child is to offer a place where kids can meet others experiencing similar emotions, receive accepting support from professionals, and have a blast at camp.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: RAD to Staff:
Big Lake Youth Camp's RAD to Staff program is designed specifically for teens ages 15-17. As a RAD to Staff camper, teens are given special leadership training while experiencing one of our awesome RAD Camp activities alongside fellow campers. Through mentorship with a Big Lake Youth Camp staff member, RAD to Staff campers will develop valuable leadership skills and knowledge. Upon successful completion of the RAD to Staff program, campers will be given a certificate of achievement. If you are interested in working at Big Lake Youth Camp someday, participation in this program is recommended because it helps you see what it takes to work at Big Lake and it allows our staff to get to know you in a unique and important way.

Counselor in Training (CIT):
As a Counselor in Training you will be assigned to assist one of our amazing Big Lake counselors with their cabin of 7-9 year old campers. This camp will give you the incredible opportunity to observe and experience first-hand what is involved in being a camp counselor. The focus of this camp is learning what it takes to be a staff member in charge of supervising campers. We hope as a CIT you will learn skills that can be used throughout your life and enable you to work more effectively with children.

Have fun while you work side by side with Big Lake staff as your mentors.
