Even though it's located in Agoura, Camp Kinneret has been serving T.O. kids for years (if not generations!) with traditional day camp programming to make even the most experienced camp directors shake their heads in awe. Sports, games, arts and crafts, and many more outdoor activities are available. We've heard some families claim this program might be more suitable for younger kids, but we think their age-appropriate programming style makes it suitable for campers up to 13. (Once kids reach age 14 they can become CITs or counselors in training). This is a well-rounded camp your child will love. Transportation is available, too.
