Summer Programming @ Camp Naivelt

Every year our program committee works to develop and deliver a rich summer schedule of activities for the Camp Naivelt community. Traditionally most programming takes place on weekends with occasional Friday night activities such as movie nights, Saturday afternoon pop-ups including yoga, bagel making workshops, arts and crafts activities and our weekly Sunday bagel brunches with guest speakers on
a variety of topics of interest to the community. In addition, Naivelters are fortunate to have weekly aquafit class in the Eldorado Park pool. Scroll down to see our calendar of events.
