Bais Chana’s un-camp is an open-minded, free-thinking learning program where teen girls, ages 15-18, can explore their Judaism, expand their minds and connect with other cool Jewish teens. Did we mention you’ll have fun?

Check out these interviews of girls who’ve come already.

Activities
In the Green Mountains of Vermont, like every Vermonter knows, things are natural, real and pure so bring a sense of adventure. We’re going hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, wall climbing, team building and moose watching, and doing creative workshops, service projects and more – much more. Let us know if you have any restrictions on activities – we’ll make sure you don’t get left out.

Classes
Think, laugh, debate, absorb and grapple with your most important questions about life. Two fascinating classes daily on the heart and soul of Judaism will challenge and stimulate your thinking. Take on the human psyche, the purpose of life, what true love really means, what a soul is, what G-d wants from us, the differences between men and women, why marriage, how to beat the blues, what fate and free choice are, what “the chosen people” really means, and much more. Extra bonus: no tests.

Why we call it the un-camp
It’s the question everyone asks…and you’ll be fully prepared to answer it once you get home. (Life has to have some surprises, no?)

Where we’re staying
Trailside mountain lodge is our home for the month. Its dormitory, dining room, living room and game room are all in one building with the pool right outside.
