Israel FAQs: What Families Can Expect This Season
Families can check out our Israel FAQs on what to expect this summer with regards to how Tawonga approaches Israel. For instance, we will continue to run impactful Israeli-inspired programming, as we have in past summers. Campers will have the opportunity to learn Israeli dance and music, make foods popular in Israel, learn about the country’s geography and more.
We will also continue to hire Israeli staff, as we have for 40 years. Part of the camper experience is understanding Tawonga as part of a “global Jewish family,” which includes Israel. One way that we foster a connection to the culture and people of Israel is through bringing Israeli staff (“Shlichim”) to work at Camp as part of our summer staff.
