Chalutzim means ‘pioneers’

Chalutzim is the ultimate in travel camp! Teens travel five days per week! Weeks alternate between day trips and extended overnights.

• Sample of day trips:
  • A Major League baseball game
  • The beach
  • A Broadway show
  • Mt. Creek
  • Dorney Park
  • Paintball
  • Graffiti tour
  • Rollerskating
• During day-trip travel weeks, there is always one late night.
• Extended overnight trips: (five days/four nights); summer 2026 overnight trips include Maine, Disney World, Virginia Beach, and the Finger Lakes!

More about Chalutzim

• Each day begins with a spirited Boker Tov good morning activity.
• When campers return from a trip, they will get to enjoy free swim (time permitting)
• End the camp day with a Rockin’ Shabbat celebration at the end of each week featuring our own band, the Shabbatones.

All this PLUS

• Chalutzim campers can split their enrollment between traditional camp, JCC Performing Arts Camp (JPAC) or TEKI STEAM camp!
• Transportation, lunch (when on an overnight trip) and snacks are all included for Chalutzim!
• Chalutzim campers start their day at 9:00 a.m. and are typically back for 4:00 p.m. dismissal.
