CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Tavor is all about youth-empowerment and teaching our campers how to be the change they want to see! Our Tzevet (staff) are almost all former campers who understand what camp is like, they are bringing their favorite activities and programs to a new generation. Learning while laughing!
At Camp Tavor, our campers learn to be critical but independent thinkers while creating a caring community.
Caring for it whether they're working on the farm or cleaning bathrooms or prepping meals! They will experience pride and ownership while learning and building skills and friendships that will last a lifetime!
We work closely with the Foundation for Jewish Camp and JCamp180. We are accredited by the American Camp Association.
