Hebrew Dual Language Camp

Hebrew language immersion is a fundamental component of the camp curriculum. It is reinforced in fun and engaging activities led by experienced, native-Israeli staff members and fluent Hebrew speakers!

Campers play, laugh, sing, swim, run and create in the warmth of a close-knit camp group. Campers come home each day proud of their new language skills – along with new friendships, great camp memories, and a love of Hebrew.

From the moment camp begins, all aspects of the camp day are conducted in Hebrew. Campers learn Hebrew by doing activities they already enjoy. Through art projects, campers discover Hebrew words for shapes and colors. Music and games expose campers to other Hebrew terms and phrases, which are continually reviewed and reinforced during the 2 weeks of camp.

Activities include:

• Swimming
