Summer Camp
Expect some creative surprises when your madrichimot (counselors) wake you up each morning-- wake up with cookies, wake up to a song, wake up to another language. Because counselors live in cabins with their campers, they help get the new day started, and are there to assist in any way needed. During PISH, you’ll participate in an activity that your counselors will plan just for your age group. PISH provides a more intimate space for learning and discussion. But this isn’t like your average day at school -- Gilboa’s youth leadership prides itself on informal and experiential learning, bringing in the spirit of summer camp through fun, immersive activities.

The seminar is hosted at either our campsite in Big Bear or at a rental campsite in Southern California. Seminars are open to friends who have never been to Gilboa but want to come try it out.
