Activities
Activities make our day go around. Camp Pardas Chanah has a full day of activities planned for all the campers. The focus of activities are that campers should have a great time together. Much team building and focus on areas of sharing and group activities are done to enhance the social & emotional aspect of each and every child.
Special days such as Color War are times where they campers are on show. They are encouraged to participate throughout the day with song, dance, drama and art. Major play, at the end of a session -led by our waitresses gives the campers of grades 6-8 a chance to shine as they produce a beautiful play.
Electives
In addition to regular camp activities Camp Pardas Chanah prides itself in their fantastic “Electives” Program. This is where the campers choose from a wide variety of activities catered to their age group and desire. Electives differ from regular activities – In this program the campers learn a skill. On the first day of camp, campers are introduced to the “Electives Shuk” (fair), where they can choose from a variety of activities that they would like to join. They will have the opportunity to choose 3 Electives that they will do throughout the month. Many campers that learned in our electives program have gone home and honed their skills becoming more proficient in their chosen elective.
