This week’s camp theme was coined adventure week as children traveled through time to learn the wonders and history of Jerusalem.
The camp averaged about 85 children per day with rising preschoolers through rising fifth graders. Volunteers included rising sixth graders through adults.
Children started the day off with a gathering together before separating into small groups where they learned about Jerusalem through a series of unique activities.
Attendees had the opportunity to engage in ventures such as singing and dancing along to music, completing marketplace crafts such as basket making, playing games outside, and even participating in educational activities where they learned about Jewish family traditions.
