In 2004, Iverbe opened its doors as a summer camp in Culver City, CA at The Willows Community School. Brothers Brent and Marc Weiss wanted to create a space where kids could be themselves, play sports and games, and create summer memories to last a lifetime. In that first summer, there were 30 campers. Each of these campers was treated as an individual and the counselors, including Brent Weiss and Bobby Hamm, took the time to get to know each individual camper. In the ensuing years, Iverbe has worked hard to stay true to this initial mission of creating a space for kids and counselors to be themselves, have fun, and build relationships. As the camp grew from one location to three, the relationship building at each site remained central to the work being done at Iverbe. Over the years, campers grew into counselors in training (CITs) who then became counselors and even some became directors. It is this evolution of the campers becoming the counselors that has allowed Iverbe to stay true to its original core values of Playing, Connecting, and Growing. Children’s love language is Play and at Iverbe, by playing with our campers, we get to know them. We know that what children need is a place to be free of worry and that is what Iverbe has to offer. We continue to create spaces that allow for this freedom with our Camps, Iverbe After School Programs, Enrichment Classes, and Events.
