by | Jan 18, 2023 | Camps, Jewish Education

Valley Teva Camp     
July 24–28, 9 am–3 pm

Join us for a full day of fun on the farm and in the forest! This camp will engage your child in all their senses, with lots of fun outdoors, and connection to food and the earth.

We start the day with games, gratitude, and farm activities. Throughout the day we enjoy the fresh farm produce, learn how to cook, create yummy healthy treats, explore the woods, and play in the river—all while exploring universal Jewish values of kindness, cooperation, learning, and gratitude.  Ancient stories and some Hebrew will be integrated into our day as well.   

Kids will be placed in two groups: 

  • Perach:  7–12 years old (led by Israeli Living Tree summer co-housing resident, Gabe Axler)
  • Nitzan: 4–6 years old (led by preschool specialist Lauren Maple)  

Offered on Living Tree Alliance’s educational farm in Moretown, Vermont. People of all faiths welcome, as we will explore universal values and play in nature together.    

Camp fee: $299
Sibling discount: 10% off

Tisha B’Av

The evening of Wednesday, July 26, through the day Thursday is the Jewish holiday of Tisha B’Av, the remembrance of the destruction of the temple Jerusalem and a Jewish day of mourning. As a community, we will commemorate this day with age-appropriate activities. An adult ceremony and Truth Mandala will take place Wednesday evening and Thursday during camp hours; the community is invited to participate in this meaningful ritual. Babysitting will be available on Wednesday evening.
