The Big Trip ISRAEL

Entering 11th & 12th Grade

THE BIG TRIP Israel is a three-week Israel experience led by our outstanding Camp Stein staff members and is available for those entering 11th grade. Due to changes last summer, entering 12th grade participants are also eligible for the 2025 BIG TRIP! You do not have to be a previous Camp Stein camper to go on this trip!

As part of their time in Israel, participants will visit historical sites across the State, build lifelong friendships with their peers along with their American and Israeli staff members, learn about a variety of cultures within Israel, and more! They will have the opportunity to see ancient and modern Israel throughout Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, hike the Galilee’s lush green landscape, and explore Masada in the Negev Desert. Teens will return home with meaningful memories, lifelong friendships, and connections to the broader Jewish community.

Ozrim Program

Entering 12th Grade

The Ozrim program begins the process of developing quality future counselors with a mixture of interactive discussion and role-playing exercises, along with supervised hands-on experiences. Training sessions emphasize child development, group dynamics, and quality leadership training.

We are thrilled to offer a restructured Ozrim program for 2025, which includes single-session opportunities in addition to our full summer program. This year, Ozrim will participate in enhanced leadership development programs and add resume-building skills to their repertoire.

Single-session participants will be introduced to the role of a staff member at camp, gaining exposure to different age groups and learning about youth development, team building, and problem-solving. Full summer participants will have a deeper understanding of staff roles, with additional opportunities to shadow multiple positions and spend extended time with their assigned cabin group. *Please note that the Second Session-only option will run only with a minimum of 5 enrolled participants.

During First Session, all participants will embark on a 4-day, 3-night trip outside of camp. In Second Session, participants will plan and lead our all-camp Maccabiah. Full summer participants will begin preparing elements of Maccabiah during First Session.

All of our Ozo’s (as we call the group at camp) will have the opportunity to plan and implement camp programs, learn about different areas of camp and from a variety of roles at camp, and have a lot of Big Jewish Fun.
