Nitzanim
Planting the Seeds of Ranch Camp Adventure
Discover Ranch Camp with Nitzanim
Calling all adventurers entering 1st through 4th grade! Experience the magic of overnight camp with the Nitzanim (sprouts) program! Nitzanim is a one-day program designed to give future campers a taste of Ranch Camp’s excitement and help prepare them for future overnights.
Nitzanim campers will be picked up from the JCC around 8:30 a.m. on the morning of their discovery program. They will then head to Ranch Camp for a day filled with the best Ranch Camp has to offer. Then, parents/caregivers can either join their campers at camp for a Shabbat celebration starting at 5:00 p.m. or meet their campers back in Denver around 5:30 p.m. For parents/caregivers who join for Shabbat, you’re in fo a treat! Experience a Ranch Camp Shabbat service and dinner with your budding Ranch Camp. Shabbat festivities will wrap up around 7:30 pm.
This incredible day will introduce kids to what Ranch Camp is all about: fostering a sense of belonging, building lasting friendships, and connecting to an incredible Jewish community.
Join us on June 26, 2026 or July 17, 2026. The Nitzanim program costs $75 per camper.
