Our community has some of the best camps in New York. Whether swimming on hot summer days, doing arts and crafts projects, or going on amazing trips and overnights, our children are having a blast. Here’s a little information about some of the great camps in our neighborhood plus two pages of photos of community children having fun.

Sephardic Community Center: Led by superb Camp Director Frieda Tawil, the SCC's day camp has been a staple in our community for a quarter of a century. They offer the usual camp activities: arts and crafts, swimming, sports, trips and overnights. With the inception of the Center Sleepaway camp, campers can enjoy time in the great outdoors.

Sephardic Renaissance Day Camp: Started five years ago by Rabbi David A. Cohen, Sephardic Renaissance Day Camp offers Sephardic children an exciting Torah-oriented environment over the summer vacation. The boys division is enthusiastically run by Rabbi Shmuel Salem, and the girls division by Mrs. Simantov. Grace Nakash works hard on schedules, exciting trips and programs. Located in Flatbush Elementary, Sephardic Renaissance offers a warm and fun-filled environment for all of their campers.

Flatbush Park Jewish Center Day Camp: Flatbush Park Jewish Center Day Camp has offered a fun-filled camp program to the community for over 30 years. Flatbush Park's program provides an abundance of carefully planned programs, including tennis, swimming and aerobics for children in preschool through 8th grade.
