Shop the Shuk

shuk

Our Shuk is the highlight of every week at camp. Run by campers in our Chaverim Program for teens with special needs, the Shuk allows campers to strengthen their decision-making and social skills as they exchange shekels (coins) for goodies like entertaining toys and delicious snacks. For campers who run the Shuk, this experience fosters independence, helps improve communication skills, increases pride, offers responsibility, and gives them the chance to chat with fellow campers.
