Our Values
Providing eye-opening summer experiences for Jewish teens and their families through journeys of discovery, adventure, and growth that extend far beyond your time with us.
-
Community
Teens will develop a sense of being part of a community and family—a mishpacha—living in the same space, sharing meaningful experiences, and forming lasting friendships. -
Personal Growth
Teens will engage in experiences outside of their comfort zone and will return home with greater confidence, sense of self, and independence. -
Safety and Fun
We offer a safe space for teens to be themselves, and create an environment that is always welcoming and inclusive. -
Jewish Life
Teens will nurture a love and appreciation for Jewish life in all its forms around the world while embracing values of mutual respect and learning. -
Cultural Understanding
Teens will be exposed to new cultures and ideas, and in so doing will develop the capacity to see their own life from a broader perspective. -
Role Modeling
Teens will benefit from forging connections with a diverse team of program staff and their role modeling potential.
