Urban Adamah is an educational farm and community center in Berkeley, California that integrates the practices of Jewish tradition, mindfulness, sustainable agriculture, and social justice to build loving, just, and sustainable communities. We provide training programs, educational workshops, and community celebrations for more than 10,000 visitors annually.
Every summer, Urban Adamah offers an outdoor summer camp for kids ages 3 – 14. Summer Camp features hands-on projects and activities exploring themes that integrate nature-connection, crafts, farming, community-building, and Jewish values. Camp Urban Adamah is designed to create a space for children to thrive and express their natural curiosity and passion, all within a vibrant, loving, and inclusive Jewish community.
We rely on an experienced and talented group of Camp Urban Adamah counselors to create loving, inspiring, memorable, and transformative experiences for children. Our counselors ensure that children of different ages can have wonderful experiences both as part of a large group, and in smaller age-based groups.
Camp Sessions: All counselors are required to attend staff training on June 5-7th, 10am-3pm. Camp will include 4 sessions: Session 1 (June 10-21), Session 2 (June 24-July 12th), Session 3 (July 15-26), and Session 4 (July 29-August 9). There is no camp on July 4th, and counselors will have that day off.
Counselors may work for less than all 4 sessions, however, priority will be given to applicants who can work all 4 sessions. There will also be the opportunity to help with post-camp clean-up from August 12-13 for additional pay, though this additional work is not guaranteed.
Please note, we will review applications on a rolling basis until positions are filled, and therefore encourage you to apply early.
