Camp K'Ton Ton
Welcome to Summer Camp!
Hebrew for “little one,” Camp K’Ton Ton (CKT) focuses on enriching the lives of young children, ages 2-5, by building friendships, fostering discovery, and having summertime fun! While exploring the world around us, campers experience a vibrant and connected community through outdoor exploration, field trips, gardening, water play, swimming, hiking, art, science, special guests and so much more.
Camp K'Ton Ton is for children ages 2-5 years old (those entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2026). If your child will be entering First Grade in the Fall of 2026, you can find information about programs available for their age on our Bernie Camp page.

3s Group
Our 3s group explores water twice a week in our outdoor pool! Each 40-minute session is led by friendly swim instructors, lifeguards and supported by our camp counselors. We focus on helping our youngest campers feel comfortable, and safe in and around the water. We start every session with an age-appropriate safety tip followed by joyful water play and discovery.
In keeping with Utah Health Department and JCC Pool guidelines, children age 3 and under are required to wear a reusable swim diaper during pool time. Disposable swim diapers are not allowed. In addition to swim, our 3s engage in hands-on science, art, sensory explorations, gardening, hiking, and exciting activities or special guests every Friday.
4s and 5s Groups
4s Group
Our 4s group is for children entering Pre-K. These brave campers dive into adventure and connection! They swim twice a week in the JCC pool, where each 40-minute session is led by friendly swim instructors, lifeguards, and supported by our awesome counselors. Safety comes first as we learn tips and skills like floating, kicking, and—of course—having fun with open swim and water play!
5s Group
Our 5s group is for children entering kindergarten. Our confident campers dive into summer fun—literally! Our campers swim four times a week in the JCC pool, learning water safety, floating, kicking, and splashing with confidence. Each session begins with a safety tip and plenty of smiles, led by our friendly swim instructors, lifeguards, and counselors.
The fun doesn’t stop at the pool for our 4s and 5s—each week includes afternoon field trips, hands-on science, art, sensory explorations, gardening, hiking, and special guests every Friday.
