A Day at Camp

There’s Nothing Typical About a Day at Camp: Every Day is an Adventure
On the first day of Camp, each camper receives a visual schedule to attach to their backpack. Don’t worry if your camper doesn’t know Hebrew—these words will become familiar in no time with help from their bunkmates, counselors, and the Hanhallah (Camp Leadership).
The sample schedules shown above (and listed below) reflect a typical day for our younger campers. Older campers follow a revised schedule that includes more free time and a later wake-up.
7:00 AM | Kima (Wake Up) |
7:30 AM | Tefillot (Prayers): Morning prayers with the special Ramah Darom siddur created just for our campers. This service is participatory, interactive, and age-appropriate. |
