Chuggim are back!

July 06, 2022

Three smiling children stand outdoors on a gravel path with their hands covered in grayish mud or clay. They wear casual summer clothes and appear to be enjoying a messy arts or outdoor activity.

We are so excited to welcome chuggim (electives) back to our daily schedule this summer! Chuggim provide hanichim (campers) the opportunity to focus on two activities each week. Hanichim are sure to find chuggim that match their interests.

Among our most popular chuggim is the new climbing tower – Har Ramah!

In Omanut (art), our hanichim have a wide range of choices including, color exploration, candle making, clay club & printing presses, and weaving.
