Children are placed in small groups and separated by age. The Nursery Camp has its own on-site Director, and each group is staffed with experienced teachers. The campers use Beth Tfiloh's state-of-the-art preschool facilities including gymnasium and enclosed playground. The 2-year-old program is under the supervision of the Beth Tfiloh Community School.
Kinder Camp introduces all the fun and experiences of the "big kid's summer camp" with an abbreviated day for those who are not quite ready for a full day experience. Kinder Campers swim once daily, with half of the time devoted to swim lessons and half to recreational swim. Supervision for each camper group is provided by an adult head counselor who is a teacher, and an assistant. The Kinder Camp staff also supervise on the buses which, to minimize riding time, is to and from centralized stops only. There is no Kinder Camp transportation serving Howard or Carroll Counties and all campers must be potty trained.
Day Campers participate in a wide variety of age-appropriate activities including two swim periods daily, one dedicated to instruction and one just for fun. Other activities include sports, arts and crafts, boating, singing, dance, drama, nature, Tarbut (Jewish culture), Splashpad, and playground. The Day Camp program is divided into separate units for different ages, so campers are bunked together with and spend the day with their peer group. Each bunk is supervised by an adult head counselor who is a teacher, and an assistant. Every activity is led by certified instructors and their aides.
