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.
