Open to the Community • Non-Members Welcomed!

In the summer of 2021, the VBS Youth Department launched an 8-week Summer Camp combining Bachutz hikes all over Los Angeles, Chesed work at various organizations, weekly beach outings, plus Friday Adventure Days with exciting activities like Surfing, Parasailing, Kayaking, Trapeze, Paintball, Goat Yoga and more!

In our first year, we welcomed 65 teens who had the summer of their lives! In the following two years, we enrolled 150+ teens! This Summer, thanks to a generous grant from the Jewish Federation, we are adding a second location in Silver Lake at the SIJCC, expanding Camp ViBeS to underserved Jewish teens throughout LA!
