Chalutzim is an amazing program just for teens. The Chalutzim Program brings together teens with a tasted for adventure, an interest in being part of a dynamic community, and a desire to learn and grow. It is a unique and exciting way t ospend the summer at Camp. Chalutzim is not your typical camp experience. The Chalutzim day is much different than what the rest of our campers experience. With a more free-form schedule, the program takes unique advantage of the Camp's activities and facilities, as well as of our top specialists and the many visiting professionals who pass through during the summer. Days include unique educational and recreational experiences, a sports & recreation time, and swimming. Nights include traditional Camp evening programs, as well as unique teen-oriented discussion and activities. Starting in 2012, the Chalutzim Program will include an intensive leadership training program - we want our participants to be well-equipped to return to their high schools, their extracurricular activities, and their youth groups, with important skills that will enable them to feel and be more successful. The Chalutzim Village is the place to be! Chalutzim campers live in their own village, which includes the Sababa - their special teen lounge. As our oldest campers, they have certain privileges reserved only for them. An adventure trip they will never forget. Without a doubt, the highlight of Chalutzim's summer is the high adventure trip. Chalutzim travels to North Carolina for a five-day stay at the Nantahala Outdoor Center; while there, they hike, mountain bike, kayak, white-water raft, and more - all in the beautiful setting of the Appalachian Highlands. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience, one that is made all the more special because it is done with Camp friends.
