The food is great. All the meals are served family-style (except

There is so much to do…there are Scholar sessions for the adults, a
well run camp program for kids, beautiful places to sit and relax or

knitting circle, and a Kesher band.

Every night after dinner, there are family group activities –
Israeli dancing, a talent show, sing-a-long and a game night. For
the teens, there is special teen programming. Lots of people bring
Mah Jongg sets and other games and play at the tables in Rounds Hall
(our dining room).
- How are the cabins?
The cabins are basic but clean and functional– there are wood frame
beds and bunks. Some cabins have windows, some screens. Most cabins
are situated near a bathroom but very few have their own bathrooms.
You will need to bring linens, sleeping bags, pillows and towels
with you to camp. Different cabin areas have different
configurations. Most cabins have separate counselor areas with one –
three single beds. We do are best to match everyone’s needs with the
cabins available.
- What about my teenagers?
The teenagers at camp serve a very special function, they are the
counselors for the kids camp. The 13- year-olds have a special
program where they learn CPR and other “life” skills. The older
teenagers are assigned groups and work with the younger kids. In the
afternoon free-time and evening, there is special teen program by
our Teen Advisor.
- What about services?
There are lovely outdoor (weather permitting) services, including a
Friday evening service, a Saturday morning service and Havdalah
under the stars. There are also Sharcharit Services on Sunday and
Monday morning, as well as a healing service. We have many Rabbis
from our local Seattle and Eastside congregations join us, providing
a variety of service styles. There is a Saturday morning kids
service as well. We also bring in song leaders to provide musical
accompaniment at services and sing-a-longs.
