WELCOME TO
LA DAY CAMP
OCTOBER 19, 2023
When was the last time you left work
AND said “That was so much fun”?
It's been a looong year. Whether you’re back in the office or still rockin’ the sweats at home, you deserve a break. So grab a color war outfit and join Jewish communal professionals from across Los Angeles for a daylong gathering at summer camp! LA Day Camp is designed to ignite professionals with new ideas, inspire curiosity, and build connections.
This isn’t a conference. It’s an experiential professional development opportunity unfound anywhere else. From hands-on electives to creative community-building -- with surprise & delight in between -- LA Day Camp invites you to recharge purposefully with colleagues in a playful environment. Whether you sign up with your team or on your own, come strengthen your connection to LA’s professional community and gain inspiration in the process. Over 700 professionals in LA have experienced the magic of Trybal firsthand. Now it’s your turn!
THE COUNSELORS
Join distinguished leaders from across Los Angeles for an experiential, camp-style gathering that offers you a unique platform to meet and learn from colleagues across the field. No matter your professional role or background, you’ll walk away with inspiration, tools, and modalities that can profoundly connect your teams and engage your community. And, maybe… a paper plate award. LA Day Camp's 2023 featured staff include these leaders and more. We will be announcing more leaders soon!

Do you work at Jewish organization in Greater Los Angeles? This is for you. 👍🏻 Are you burned out? (there, we said it). This is definitely for you. 🔥 Was your OOO last used in 2022 or earlier? This is for you. 🗓 Are you a seasoned executive with decades of experience? Mazels. This is still for you. 🏆 Do you need to be Jewish to attend? Nope. As long as you work at a Jewish org, this is for you. ✨
Whether you're at a Hillel, Federation, synagogue, day school, summer camp, foundation, think tank, start-up or are just brushing up your resumé for the LA Jewish space… this is for you. ⚡️
It’s also for your team. We deeply believe in cross-functional collaboration. That's why we’re lowering the price for colleagues who register from the same org. It’s like going on a team offsite that you don’t have to plan! 🌴
