YACHAD (Current 9th Graders)

FULL SESSION

THE YACHAD EXPERIENCE

In Tel Yehudah’s Yachad program we are all about two major things: meeting teens from all over the country and taking on new challenges with a few more skills under our belts. One of the best things about Yachad is meeting teens from different places. In our “Build your own summer” you have the opportunity to mix with more than 100 Jewish teens from across the US and more. We also know that you are ready to dive deeper into an area of your choosing, whether that be something active like sports, artistic like theater, or communal like social action, you have more choices in your daily schedule to build a summer that is best for you. Along with making your own choices, we will make sure you get the BEST traditional camp experiences like: activities with your bunk, rikud (Israeli dance), special days in camp, time to just chill with your friends, and crazy campwide events!
