Teen Camp
A Day At Camp
At Teen Camp, no two days are ever the same. Days at Teen Camp incorporate a combination of elective choices, recreational time, day trips out of camp, community service volunteering, special programming, and leadership development opportunities. Not to mention, the highlight of any Teen Camp summer are the trips! Whether in Israel, domestically in the US, or elsewhere overseas, there’s no shortage of excitement during a day at TAC. Below is a basic schedule of what a staple day might look like, but the beauty of our program lies in the things that don’t happen on a day-to-day basis.
| 8:45am Rise and Shine | It’s time to get out and seize the day! There’s so much fun that awaits us. Get dressed and ready for your day. |
| 9:00am Clean Up | While our housekeeping staff sanitize the bathrooms, our campers make their beds, tidy their personal spaces, and rotate through bunk chores, ensuring that their bunk will get a good inspection score. Good scores mean prizes! |
| 9:45am Breakfast | The best meal of the day! Campers sit by bunk with their counselors in the dining hall as they enjoy breakfast served cafeteria-style. The menu changes daily, but always features both hot and cold selections. |
| 10:45am Elective 1 / Internship | Campers individually choose four activities from over 50 options. These four elective activities change every three days. Electives include a wide range of sports, arts, science, adventure, and waterfront, as well as our TACtivities (Teen Camp exclusive electives that change each cycle). For campers completing a summer internship, this when might report for their daily periods of interning. |
