Camp Kochavim services Jewish children aged 2 through 6th grade.

As the nature of the pandemic is ever changing, policies will be shared beginning a month before the start of camp. All Camp Kochavim’s policies will be guided by Robert M. Beren Academy’s medical committee. Please email Tania Levenstein, Camp Director with any specific questions.

All campers and staff must be up to date on their immunizations and submit immunization records before the start of camp. Camp Kochavim does not accept conscientious objections for immunizations. Medical exemptions must be renewed yearly.

There will be a kosher paid lunch option catered via Saba's Pizza and Saba's Wok and Grill. Order forms will be emailed out prior to each session beginning.

We understand that the experience your child will have at camp will be shaped by their amazing counselors. We take pride in the warmth, maturity, and responsibility of our staff. Our youngest counselors are high school students. In our youngest division (2–3 year olds), Shamayim, each bunk has 1 Morah (adult) work alongside junior counselors and/or assistant teachers.

We run counselor and CPR training in advance of the summer, as well as regular ongoing professional development throughout the course of the summer. Campers will have the opportunity to meet their counselors prior to the start of camp. 

We do not currently offer an after-care program.

Current RMBA families may begin to enroll their children (RMBA students and siblings) beginning January 10, 2024. The application will open up to the Houston Jewish community on February 1, 2024. Space is limited! Much like many of RMBA’s early childhood classes, we anticipate some of our younger age groups reaching their capacities quickly, at which point applicants will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified if a spot becomes available. 

Our number one priority is the safety and security of your children. There will be full time armed security guards on campus throughout the summer.

All families must fill out a camper application per camper applying. Once an age group is full, applicants will be placed on a waiting list. Applicants must first be accepted. Once they are accepted they will be notified via email and charged their deposit fees.

Food brought by campers to camp, served at parties to which Camp Kochavim campers are invited, MUST follow Houston Kashrut Association (HKA) standards. Here is a quick reference of permissible Kosher symbols.
