Camp Twelve Trails

Shana Tova! Wishing you and your families a sweet
new year!🍏

Thanks Jewish Day Camp Network for letting us show off Camp Twelve Trails to our JCC colleagues ! It was great seeing everyone at camp! 🌲🧡

Come visit camp, we would love to see you there! https://www.camptwelvetrails.org/tours

Our camp garden is still flourishing and bringing so much joy even though camp has ended! Meghan from our Grow Neighborhood picked over 50lbs of produce ( planted and cared for by our camp kids this summer!) ! This produce was packaged by our Sunday friends and donated to our local community fridge 💚🍅! Go team!

We can’t believe it’s the last day of Camp!

Today at Neighborhood Grow, campers signed the Garden Banner. “I think of it as a kind of yearbook,” said Christine, our Grow Specialist. We are so excited to hang it in our garden!

We can’t believe it’s the first day of Week 7!

Getting ready for Maccabi Games tomorrow!

An amazing start to Week 6!

We can’t believe it’s Friday! Last day of week 5!

Today was Under the Sea Day! So many pirates and mermaids at Neighborhood Create!

We are halfway through Week 5!

This week’s value is respect for all people. At Neighborhood Create, campers participated in Mindfulness, sharing their interests with fellow campers. Our Mindfulness Specialist shared with them that doing things they enjoy is a great way to manage their emotions during stressful times.

A colorful end to week 4…

It’s Mestival! All-day campers have participated in different colorful and messy activities. At Neighborhood Create, campers played with water Twister and water blasters! They especially enjoyed splashing their counselors and specialists!

Today at Neighborhood Grow, campers created bug hotels. They learned the importance of encouraging specific bugs, like pollinators, to stay in the garden and discouraging others, like aphids, from making it their home. Some campers even named their new critter friends.

Due to the risk of severe thunderstorms in our area on Thursday evening, we will postpone our Trailblazer Family night to Wednesday, August 7th.

A new RSVP form is available in the parent dashboard!

We thank you for your understanding and look forward to the new date!

We are celebrating Purim in July! Campers and staff dressed up as Powder Puff Girls, baseball players, and even Mandalorians! Throughout the day, campers will participate in activities while learning about Purim.

It may be cloudy, but it’s still pool time!

Today at the Play Neighborhood, Teens had a blast playing a friendly flag football game.

This week’s value is being keepers of the earth. At the Grow Neighborhood , campers worked on our garden. They thinned basil and tomato plants and replanted them around the garden. Campers also filled the raised beds with soil and compost. They even planted a peach tree!

The dog days of summer are here…Staying cool and hydrated at our Mayim Madness event today!

Week 3 started with a bang…basketball shootout!

Week 2 was a blast! Now, let’s gear up for an even more exciting Week 3!
