Welcome to Israel Bus 6!

Hi everyone, 

The teens have made it to Israel!!

Adventure bus 6 staff were thrilled to welcome all your campers very early this morning. After sleeping in, our campers spent much of the day getting to know one another and going over ground rules. The teens played some ice breakers including games called Raglayim enayim (legs and eyes) and wah. The group has already begun bonding and it’s a joy to watch our Adventure 4 community begin to form. 

Later in the day the teens had the opportunity to explore the flea market in Yaffo as well as get dinner independently in small groups. 

Tonight we will prep for our time in the desert , which I know will be a once in a lifetime experience. All nights conclude with Ma’mad, a closing activity to end the day on a powerful and calming note as well as a little free time before bed. 

We are looking forward to many more days full of engagement, growth, and community!
