Tribe’s summer of fun is in full swing, with the Great British Tribe Tour having recently returned home and Tribe’s Summer Camps now underway. Over 400 participants from Years 5-13 are now having a blast at an exclusive beachfront resort on the Isle of Wight.
Camp Gad, Camp Zev, Camp Barak, Camp Sufa, Camp Kerach, Learn2Lead and Tribe Leadership Camp are all enjoying busy days full of activities including paddle boarding, canoeing, movie nights, zipwire, stargazing and more, as well as meaningful Shabbat experiences.
Everyone is having a fantastic time - here's what participants and madrichim (leaders) had to say:
Toby Nagus, 22, Co-Rosh (head) of Camp Barak and Camp Sufa, said: "We've been here for a couple of days now and we're all having an amazing time. We're doing some really fun activities and it's amazing to give Year 7 and 8 kids an authentic and fun Jewish experience."
Maya, 12, said: "I'm really enjoying camp so far and my favourite thing has been going to the beach!" and Ari, who is on Learn2Lead camp, said: "My favourite activity has been the quiz!"
