Summer 2012

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.
