About CA Camps
CA Camps was created in furtherance of Chizuk Amuno's mission to offer informal learning and growth opportunities to school-aged children at Chizuk Amuno Congregation and Schools. By offering safe, educational, and fun programming, CA Camps will show you why you can't spell CAMP without CA!
Safe, educational, and fun
Safety
We work tirelessly 12 months a year to keep our campers safe!
- Our campus features state-of-the-art security, including dozens of high-resolution cameras monitored in real time on site, and warning systems to keep weapons and other threats off our campus.
- We have an armed School Resource Officer on site at all times campers are on campus.
- We work in partnership with state and local police and fire departments to ensure proper safety protocols.
- We train our staff before camp and reaffirm our training all summer long.
Education
CA Camps is a summer camp designed by career educators!
- Social and non-classroom education is proven to be just as important as classroom skills (including swimming!).
- Our program staff are career educators who work in school settings 10 months a year.
- Our Jewish and Israeli culture programs reinforce year-round Jewish education, making it fun to learn about and practice Judaism.
- We design our schedule and culture around being school-ready, so our campers are socialized and primed to succeed in school.
Fun!
As one of our campers put it: CA Camps is 100% FUN!
- Summer is the time to make memories!
- We prepare top-notch, exciting programming to fill your camper's summer.
- Our schedule is jam-packed with special events, theme days, special programming, and more!
- Our culture of sunshine (even on rainy days), smiles, and fun is CONTAGIOUS!

Our summer staff
We hire seasonal staff ages 16 (junior counselors) and up. Most bunk counselors are high school upperclassmen or college students, and most of our instructors are educators who work in school settings during the "other 10" months. Our bunk staff report to our Unit Heads, who are senior-level staff and career educators.
We are proud to feature a 4:1 camper to staff ratio!
Meet our unit leaders
Christa Roop
Unit Leader
I have been married for 14 years and have two girls, Makenzie and Madison, who also attend CA Camps!
This will be my 4th year working at CA Camps! I also worked with Robyn and Kori at Camp Suburban as a counselor for the Pre-K and K bunks. I worked for BCPS for 4 1/2 years, starting as a kindergarten assistant and moving into a para-educator role. This year I am at Krieger Schechter Day School as a First Grade Assistant and Support to the Lower School. I am looking forward to an amazing summer here at CA Camps!
Donny Yankellow
Unit Leader
I have been a teacher for over 25 years and am currently the Makerspace teacher at Krieger Schechter Day School. In addition to teaching, I have over 20 years of experience working in Baltimore-area camps in a variety of positions.
After an amazing experience last summer, I am so excited for my new role at CA Camps this summer!
Mia Fobbs
Unit Leader
I have been a part of Baltimore County Schools for the past three years, working primarily with children who have IEPs, autism, and other special needs. I truly love what I do as a paraeducator and find so much joy in helping kids learn and grow.
I'm also a proud mom to my 13-year-old daughter, Zoey, who is an LIT here. This will be our second summer at CA, and I couldn't be more excited. From the very first year, I felt like I was welcomed into a loving family where safety, teamwork, and care are always the top priorities. I'm thrilled to be returning and looking forward to another amazing summer at CA!
Rebecca Barker
LIT and CIT Director
With a lifelong passion for the camp experience, I am thrilled to have taken on the role of CIT Director at CA Camps. My journey in the world of camp began as a young camper at the JCC, and it has been a central part of my life ever since.
I was a counselor at Camp Milldale for 10 years, where I had the privilege of working with 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. I also work at Goldsmith preschool's summer camp (and teach the 4-year-old program during the school year). As the LIT and CIT Director, I guide 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th graders, helping them develop into remarkable counselors and instilling in them a love for camp.
I am truly dedicated to the mission of CA Camps and excited to help shape the next generation of leaders. Together we will continue to create magical, life-changing summers for campers and keep alive the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that makes camp such a special place.
