Camp S'dei Chemed understands that applicants
may be concerned about the security situation in Israel. The safety and security
of our Campers is our number one priority. S'dei Chemed would never take on this
endeavor if we felt we were unable to adequately provide an absolutely safe and
secure trip. We therefore take whatever precautions that are necessary to ensure
the safety of all participants.
The following are some of the basic security precautions taken on the trip:
Our campus is completely fenced in from all sides and there is a security
guard at the main entrance 24/7.
Camp S'dei Chemed is in direct contact with
the appropriate Israeli security and public safety authorities on a daily
basis. Before traveling to any destination, we are first cleared by the
Israeli government.
As
per an arrangement with CellTalk, all Campers will receive a free cell phone
rental for the duration of the tour. We strongly urge all participants to take
advantage of this offer. Family and friends will feel much more comfortable
knowing that they can reach you at any time while you are in Israel.

An armed guard and a medic
will accompany the camp 24 hours a day for the duration of the summer.
We do not travel to or
through certain unsafe areas such as the West Bank, Gaza or crowded areas.
Only our own private
transportation and our very own camp drivers are used the entire summer.
We run a very full and
structured program and no child is ever permitted from leaving the group or
leaving camp grounds.
The best way for applicants
to get a first hand account of the organization and security that we provide
at Camp S'dei Chemed International is to have them speak with those who have
experienced the camp themselves. If You would like to be put in touch with
recent alumni, please take a look at our past
summer pages and feel free to contact anyone or call our office and we
will put you in touch with someone in your neighborhood.
Camp S'dei Chemed
International has been the pioneers of bringing children to Israel and has
done so for the past 39 years (starting in 1969) bringing thousands of campers
to visit Israel over the summers.
