About
Urban Adamah Youth & Families Camps and Programs offers youth camps that include play, planting, singing, farm chores and responsibilities, and project-based nature and art activities. Campers take part in gardening, feeding chickens, collecting eggs, farm-to-fork food preparation, arts and crafts, music, stories, nature connection activities, all-camp games, circle time, songs, storytelling, acts of love and kindness, games, gaga, and quiet-time activities. Sprouts Camp includes 40 minutes of relaxation time for laying down and napping, listening to stories and songs, and practicing mindfulness, along with self-directed play in engaging spaces.
• Ages: 3–15 years old
• Schedule: Summer Camp runs Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM, with sessions ranging from 1 to 2 weeks between June 8 and August 7, and optional After-Camp care from 3:00–5:30 PM Monday–Thursday during Sessions 1–4 for Sprouts and Roots Campers
• Price: Sprouts, Roots, and CIT Leadership Program sessions range from $631–$1,332 at early bird and full prices, with After-Camp Program prices from $175–$350 plus a 3.5% credit card fee
Sprouts Camp is open to children ages 3–5 who are entering preschool and kindergarten and must be fully potty trained. Roots Camp is open to children entering grades 1–6, and the CIT Leadership Program is open to incoming 7–9 graders. After-Camp Program hours are staffed by Urban Adamah Camp counselors. Urban Adamah sets aside a small pool of scholarship money that is distributed on a needs-basis.
Urban Adamah Youth & Families Camps and Programs are part of Urban Adamah, which was founded in 2010 as the first urban Jewish community farm in the United States. The camps and programs integrate hands-on farm activities with story, ritual, and song, and summer camp activities are done through the lens of Jewish tradition and storytelling, including shomrei adamah (“guardians of the earth”) farm activities and eco-mitzvot songs. Campers choose their own afternoon free-choice specialty with campers of all ages. Summer camp began with 30 campers in 2011.
Urban Adamah’s mission states that it seeks to build a more loving, just, and sustainable world by grounding and connecting people to themselves, to others, and to the natural world through farm-based, community building experiences that integrate Jewish tradition, mindfulness, sustainable agriculture, and social action. The work of every program participant who works on the farm is oriented towards providing food for those in the community most in need, and Urban Adamah reports having grown and distributed more than 300,000 pounds of produce and eggs. Fellows at Urban Adamah spend one day a week volunteering at other food access and urban garden organizations, and Urban Adamah contributes to food security in the East Bay with an impact described as local, regional, and national, with its pedagogical model being replicated in communities around the globe.
