Anisfield Day Camp - Grades K through 7
New in Summer 2026!
Kindergarten Programming
Our youngest campers, our Adama village, spend their days at Safran Park. They enjoy a warm, nurturing environment that fosters community-building, imagination, and play. Through fun-filled daily activities like sports, swimming, art, STEM, and dance, they develop essential social skills, practice teamwork, and connect as part of a fun, supportive camp community all while having a blast outdoors. Included in their camp experience, Adama campers participate in Safety Town during Session 3.
First Grade
Our first grade Anisfield campers have the choice between Halle Park in Burton or Safran Park in Beachwood for their Anisfield experience. At Halle Park, campers enjoy a lively bus ride to our wooded campsite where they dive into nature and endless outdoor activities. Safran Park offers a nurturing environment, still filled with outdoor play, swimming, and more. Both locations promise fun adventures, skill-building, and forever friendships. The J-Day Camps team is available to discuss which site may be the best fit for your rising first grader.

NEW: 7th Grade - Olim
New this summer, Anisfield’s rising 7th graders will have their best summer yet! As a cohort, our Olim Village will grow, adventure, and connect.
- Through a variety of carefully crafted field trips and on-site experiences, Olim campers will develop leadership skills, give back to their community, explore Cleveland through many lenses, and have a blast enjoying beloved camp programs.
- Through programming created specifically to meet the needs and interests of this middle school age group, Olim will offer our oldest Anisfield campers a summer of fun, experiential learning, tikkun olam, community-building, and memories to last a lifetime.
The Pilloff Family Performing Arts Camp - Grades K through 8
About PAC
An extension of our Playmakers Youth Theatre program, The J's Performing Arts Camp (PAC) is a place for campers of all experience levels to stretch their imaginations, gain confidence on and off the stage, find their voices, and build lifelong friendships. Through playing a character, singing their hearts out, and nurturing instruction that celebrates each individual’s creativity, PAC campers grow as performers and people.
PAC is open to campers in K-8th grade.
PAC Programming
PAC campers participate in theater classes and electives, enjoy fun in the sun, swim and express themselves through visual art. Each day, campers in grades K-5 rehearse a play written by Emma Miller, with roles specifically developed to showcase each individual. Our sixth- through eighth-grade campers dive deeply into theatrical storytelling, bringing well-known characters and scenes to the stage. All campers rehearse daily and enjoy specials such as improv and costume design, masterclasses, Scene Stealers, Playmympics, and electives such as hip-hop and a cappella.
J-Kids Camp
Our Pre- and Post-Camp sessions allow kids in grades K-6 to get an early start on the summer with a full day camp experience before J-Day Camps start and after the final session of the summer. Spend a day, several days or the entire week at Safran Park in Beachwood for swimming, sports, crafts and other activities.
