How are campers assigned to bunks?
Campers are placed in bunks that are divided by grade. The beginning of camp is filled with various icebreakers and team building exercises to help the boys get to know their fellow bunkmates and learn how to live together. The campers also have the opportunity to spend time with friends who are not in their bunk during various group activities, electives, in their rest hour, and on trips.
 
 
What does a typical day look like?
The campers are woken up in the morning and begin the day with line up followed by a hearty breakfast. They will then gather for morning prayers that will be guided by the dedicated staff to ensure that campers of every background can follow along. Prayers will be followed by different sports activities led by a professional sports coach. After enjoying other activities that will vary by the day, the campers will sit down to a warm, nutritious lunch. Immediately following lunch will be electives that the campers will get to choose to their preference. The boys will then cool off with swimming in the camp pool.
 
‘Torah Time’ is a moment in the busy day where the campers will be invited to explore their Jewish Heritage through riveting, relatable lessons given by our staff members. This will be followed by various exciting, daily activities after which dinner will be served.
 
The day will conclude with exciting night activities and then lights out. Time to rest up for the exciting day ahead!
