Swimming Lessons

The children in the Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindercamp programs are bussed to a local pool for professional instructor taught swimming lessons. Children spend 30 minutes in swimming class. Red Cross certified life guards are in the pools at all times and Aleph School staff are stationed around the pool perimeter.


Field Trips

No summer is complete without field trips! Aleph School offers both in-house and venture-out field trips. In-house field trips are for all Aleph School campers, while venture-out field trips such as Kenwood Gymnastics, are for Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindercamp kids only. The cost of the field trips is included in your camp tuition.


All-School BBQ

In the true spirit of Am Yisrael (one community), all Aleph School campers come together once a session for an all-school BBQ. This event involves a picnic on the playground (weather permitting) and a bit of free-play.
