Camp S’dei Chemed’s tours are planned out many months in advance. Every detail is carefully worked out so that the day is utilized to the maximum. Many years of experience have taught us what kids love most! S’dei Chemed’s reputation as "the ultimate in touring" is well recognized. T’nach and Chazal come alive as we retrace the paths of our history-soaked land. No wonder our youngsters return home with a deep and everlasting love for our homeland and sacred heritage. The inspiration they receive remains with them for a lifetime! This year we will once again be running two tours. While our default tour, Tour A "The grand tour of Israel" is specially tailored for the first time visitor to Israel. It will take you from the top of the Chermon to the tip of Eilat. You'll get to see the beautiful historical sites and Mekomos Hakedoshim throughout the entire country.

Tour B

Second year campers get a chance to see parts of Israel rarely seen by the average tourist. The program called "Off The Beaten Path" takes them through winding paths and magnificent trails that lead through wadis and hills, streams and rivers. They crawl through caves and scale up mountains for some spectacular breathtaking sights. It gives them an in depth view of Israel that few ever get.

You can also check out our Israel web site at http://www.campsci.com/iguide/  and scroll through our beautiful designed virtual guide of Israel, which will soon be published as a separate book. It contains a wealth of information and some beautiful pictures of the places we will be visiting this summer; you'll find it very handy.

Some General Trip Information 

Always remember to lock your doors and windows before leaving on a trip. Pleases pay attention to our guides so you will learn as much about the beautiful land you came to visit.

Remember to always take your camera and enough sd cards. Our bus rides are filled with excitement and rest time. Each camper will receive his assigned seat on the bus, to be used throughout the entire summer; this will facilitate fast boarding on all trips. Time will be a very important factor on all trips, and we will insist that campers always be prompt and board immediately upon the proper signal. Each bus has it’s own guide, who will explain all the beautiful sights on our journeys. Each guide is an old veteran in Israel and has been selected especially for his thorough knowledge of the country - a strong background of Nach, Chazal and history. Our personnel are thoroughly familiar with all there is to see, and have done a magnificent job of familiarizing our campers with Israel from it’s past up to the present day. Few Israeli tours can boast of equal success. There is plenty of spare time during our long bus rides that you will find it quite useful to take along an ipod player and listen to some nice music or interesting shiurim. You may also want to keep a diary of your summer experience. Camp offers a special reward for the best kept diary. Make sure to always bring along a camelback water bottle. It is worn over one's back and has a plastic tube going around to the front. It is a fantastic item for hydration and is a must for hikes. We ask all boys participating in our programs to bring along a hat (to shade from the sun and avoid heat stroke), and a small pocket sized Nach.
