Our camps and programs are offered locally throughout over 500 communities. The format includes traditional week-long summer day camps and year-round after-school programs that range from 45 minutes to 6 hours in duration, per day. Our progression of camps and programs, led by our expert staff, are generated toward youth looking for a sport introduction or those who want to refine and master their sport-specific skills.

For Detailed Information on ALL of our summer sports camps, please visit our website at Our Camp Website Link: www.skyhawks.com.

Our coaches and site directors make a significant difference to your child's on-field experience. Chosen for their strong personal character, responsibility, and capacity to effectively communicate sports skills to youth, our staff will make the extra effort every time to ensure that your children have the best on-field/court experience, emphasize teamwork, and learn life skills through sports. Our staff are required to complete our extensive certification process.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: We offer year round programs in select states, please see our website for complete information on all Skyhawks Sport Camps in your area.

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 SESSION DATES & FEES:
Skyhawks Sports Camps are offered throughout the summer, and specific dates and times vary from location to location.

Fees vary depending on age, duration of camp, and location.

You can find a complete list of sessions, times, and fees for ALL the Skyhawks Sports Camps in your area at: Our Camp Website Link: www.skyhawks.com.

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.
