BAIS CHANA THE UN-CAMP FOR TEEN GIRLS, 15-18

Join an astonishingly diverse group of teen girls from all over the world for the most incredible time you’ve ever had away from home. Bais Chana is the Un-Camp, a place where you get to ask your most important questions about life (and really get answers) in a setting that’s completely non-judgmental and open.

WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA?
  • Learning to play the bongo Two fascinating sessions daily on the heart and soul of Judaism to challenge and stimulate your thinking. Get ready to think, laugh, debate, absorb and grapple with your most important questions about life. Take on the human psyche, the purpose of life, what true love really means, what G-d wants from us, the differences between men and women, the creation of the world, how to beat the blues, what “the chosen people” really means, and much more. Extra bonus: no tests.
  • Creative workshops, outdoor activities and service projects. Depending on the location, you’ll go hiking, biking, boating, shopping, kickboxing, get hypnotized, paint, do ceramics, sing, swim, collage a styrofoam head (long story), paint homes, climb a high wall, have your handwriting analyzed, clear forest paths and more.
WHO COMES?

You, if you’re Jewish, female and between the ages of 15 and 18. It’s that simple. You don’t need any previous Jewish education to come to Bais Chana, just an adventurous spirit (and an adventurous mind). You don’t need any friends to come with either, because you’re going to make plenty of them when you’re here. Need some reassurance? Check out our pics from last session.

WHO'S IN CHARGE?

A team of the best counselors around and a teacher who’s known the world-over as a master educator. Rabbi Manis Friedman is an author, lecturer, social philosopher and mentor to way too many people to count. But don’t let that intimidate you. Really.
