Un-Camp West
March 2010

Bais Chana West Join Jewish girls, ages 15-18, from all over the country
Acclaimed educator, Rabbi Manis Friedman & a team of spirited counselors
Bais Chana is an open-minded, open-forum 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?

This year's Un-Camp West features unconventional Jewish learning (leave your preconceptions home), a music workshop with some of the weirdest instruments you’ve ever seen, a ropes course to stretch your abilities, breathtaking hiking and an art workshop for people with two left hands.
