 Campers entering grades 3 and 4 are in this unit, which live in chalets, or A-frames, two-level cabins that have bathrooms and showers. There may be up to 14 campers housed in one chalet, with staff. Sabra campers experience activities with their cabin each day, including an overnight on camp property. Campers also enjoy "Sabra Free Day," when they get to choose activities with other Sabra campers who may not be in their cabin. |
 For campers entering grades 5 and 6, these campers live primarily in cabins in Camp Street (please note that one or two female cabins may be housed directly behind this area in Camp Circle). These cabins do not have plumbing and share our large main bathhouse no more than a 30 second walk from any cabin. Up to 12 campers and staff can be placed in one cabin. Kineret campers are scheduled for two Camper's Choice periods and two Chugim ( Hobby Time) periods each week. |

Campers entering grades 7 and 8 live in two different areas of camp. Boys reside in an area of main camp called Halutzim Park, which has its own bathhouse. Filled with character and history, these oldest remaining cabins at camp can house up to eight campers and staff in one cabin. Girls stay in the Camp Circle, where up to 12 campers and staff can live, and use the main bathhouse. The Park and the Circle are approximately a one minute walk away from each other. Halutzim campers can have up to four Camper's Choice periods a week and meet with their Chugim group for two double periods each week. |

Campers entering grades 9 and 10 live Teen Village, an area of camp across a bridge available only to campers in this age group. Teen campers live in tents with a wooden platform, arranged in groups of four called "quads." Each quad has three tents for campers and one tent for staff. All tents have flaps that can be completely closed, lights and electricity, and up to six campers can live in one tent. Quads are separated from each other by woods and green space, and all campers and staff share the teen bathhouse. Teen Village also contains a building with a pool table, benches and a soda machine called the Rec. Hall. The oldest campers at camp, teen participants can enjoy up to six Camper's Choice periods and Chugim for two double periods each week. |

Participants entering grade 11 can participate in our CIT, or "Counselor in Training" program. Available only as an eight-week program, participants must apply for this program and are accepted pending an interview with the camp director or assistant director. CITs live in main camp in the Log and Ranch, facilities that have bathrooms and showers. Participants learn leadership and responsibility through training, activities and experiences with other campers. Much of the summer is spent in "rotations," where CITs act as assistants to staff in cabin groups and specialty areas during the day. Rotations switch every three to four days. Evenings are spent as a group in activities and discussions. CITs also have opportunities to demonstrate leadership in all-camp programs and Judaic activities. |
