We sponsor several programs for children, families and youth year round. One of our projects is MoshWest designed for teenagers looking for something beyond the ordinary MoshWest is a four week wilderness program that begins in Oconomowoc and travels by van to Colorado and Utah. The time out west is basically split between a mountain piece in Colorado and a desert experience in Dark Canyon in Utah. Like OB and NOLS the participants rely on their own abilities and resources.
Every night is under the stars and food is prepared by the participants.
Of course, we focus on Jewish learning in the program with the primary emphasis on ecology and Judaism's view on nature. The program runs primarily from mid-July for a month with staff beginning about a 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.
