TRAVEL CAMP

Our Travel Camp is for campers in rising grades 5-8. In addition to participating in activities at camp, travel campers will go on multiple special field trips each week, get to choose an elective specialty, and participate in unique travel-camp-only programming!

Field Trips

Sample field trips:

  • Dave n Busters

  • Zipline at Sandy Springs Park 

  • Monster Mini-Golf 

  • White water rafting 

  • Bowling

  • Splashdown Waterpark

  • Scavenger Hunt

  • Indoor Rock Climbing

  • Kings Dominion

  • Escape Room

Activities

When Travel Campers aren't on the road, they get to be on-site campers and participate in many of our daily specialties, such as Cooking, Mad Science, Woodworking, Sports, Drama, and Music.

 

Campers will have an opportunity to select an elective to participate in once a week!

 

Once a week our campers will have a chance to cool off at the pool for free swim.

 

Travel campers play a large role in our week-long Color War, and usually have the most imaginative and elaborate entries in our Bunk Decoration and Lip Sync Competitions. They have special Social Action activities and Shabbat programming on Fridays.

 

They also have many chances each week to hang out, relax, and spend some time together!

Leaders In Training
(7-8th)

Campers in 7-8th Grade participate in weekly training in preparation for becoming our next generation of counselors. Each Travel Camper is placed in a bunk with younger campers, and are mentored by current bunk staff to gain valuable leadership experience in dealing with everyday camp situations.

 

Members of our Leadership Team provide further support and mentorship through workshops designed to foster critical thinking and considered decision-making. They also provide support in bridging the transition from camper to counselor. 

Completion of our Leadership Training program and feedback from Leadership Team and bunk staff are given considerable weight when it comes time to make hiring decisions.
