Learning, Trips, and Activities
Camp Emes has an excellent and rigorous learning program that is uniquely crafted to keep the camping Ben-Torah engaged and excited about his Limudim. Much effort has gone into developing this program with guidance from Roshei Yeshiva, Rabbeim, and other camp directors.
Our program consists of a 2 hour Gemorah Seder in the morning (including shiur), and a 45-minute Hashkafa Shmuez and Q/A session at night. These sessions are delivered by prominent lecturers throughout Eretz Yisrael that in the past included, Our Morah D'asra, Harav Binyomin Moskovits, Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky, Harav Nissan Kaplin, Rabbi Hanoch Teller, Rabbi Asher Sinclair, R' Natan Gamedze (the "Black Prince"), R' Uri Zohar, and many more.
Our itinerary gets better and better every year with action-packed trips like tornado boating, water skiing, mountain biking, banana boating, paintball, cliff repelling, horse and camelback riding, swimming, bowling and much much more!
The advantage of being in Eretz Yisrael enables us to see and experience the land that HaShem gave us. As such, we have the opportunity to visit numerous Mekomos Hakedoshim such as the Kosel Hamaravi, Mearas Hamachpeila, Kever Rachel and other Kivrei Tzaddikim in Yerushalayim, Bnei Brak, Tiveria, Meron and Tzfas. We are also privileged to personally meet and talk with many Gedolei Hador – Rav Elyashiv, Rav Shteinman, Rav Shmuel Aurbach, Rav Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, Rav Chaim Kanievsky and others.
Camp Emes also has an intense "sports and league" program complete with championship and trophies. Our beautiful on campus gym is known as one of the best in Yerushalayim. Initiated by Summer 2007-2008 sports director, Nissi Merenstein, Camp Emes has instituted inter-camp "staff games" in Israel. The excitement of these games is only surpassed by the elation of the campers that cheer their respective camps staff on.
