Yalla! A First-Time Camp Experience
Throughout Israel, the phrase “Yalla” can be heard, meaning let’s go!
Let’s go:
- Build friendships
- Learn independence and self-discovery
- Zip lining
- Swim and kayak in the lake
- In the pool
- Trek through the mud obstacle course
- Try new things
- And much more!
Yalla campers experience all of the joys and adventures of Capital Camps with just a little extra–a higher camper to staff ratio, smaller cabins–and all first-time campers will participate in activities as a cohort to maximize relationship building and counselor care.
