Starting our Day
​
Our Day starts off with welcoming the campers into the bunk! They're greeted with the room and tables set up according to what they'll be learning that day.
Davening & Theme
Once all the campers have arrived it's time for davening and theme!
What is the theme? Each summer The Arts CH Camp has a theme of the summer which is broken down into different concepts per week and then per day. This year we are learning Basi Legani! Each week we’ll be taking another concept from the maamer and learn it in a simplified way in accordance with their age and understanding. The art projects, science, baking etc. will correlate to the theme that they’re learning at that time.
Davening will be according to age and we'll have incentives to promote davening!
Park/Sports
We have the park and sports almost every day! The kids love going outside. The HC’s will run fun filled activities and create a good connection between the campers and prompt team building and friendships. They will run sports, bunk games, and much more.
