Birthdays

Happy birthday to Jake H. and Allen K.  two of our amazing Session III campers, and Izzy S. one of our amazing counselors! Another super special day at Camp Tawonga. 

Here’s what celebrating a birthday at Camp Tawonga looks like. (Hint: It’s pretty special.)

How’s the Weather? ☀️

High 95, low of 60 today

During the hottest time of the day, campers relax in the shade of their cabins during Rest Hour. Additionally, counselors always make sure that campers stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and cool off in the pool or the beautiful Tuolomne river, which are all especially important during hot days like today. In case you missed it, check out this post on what a “typical day” at Camp Tawonga looks like.

Did You Know …

One of the best things about being at Camp Tawonga is getting to celebrate Shabbat in such a vibrant, inclusive community. Check out this J article from a few seasons ago to read about what makes Shabbat at Camp Tawonga such an enriching, holy experience.
