We sponsor several programs forchildren, families and youth year round. The time out west is basically splitbetween a mountain piece in Colorado and a desert experience in Dark Canyon inUtah. Like OB and NOLS the participants rely on their own abilities andresources.
Every night is under the stars and food is prepared by theparticipants.
Of course, we focus on Jewish learning in the program with the primaryemphasis on ecology and Judaism's view on nature. The program runs primarily from mid-July for a month with staff beginning abouta week prior. Each group has ten to twelve participants with two staff members. Travel is by van and gear is hauled in a trailer, both of which we provide. 19 for Susan Alexander, Associate Director.
