Questions and Answers

Campers who are not proficient in the language may find themselves daily in situations where they do not understand what is going on in the camp. This is an unpleasant feeling, for the trainee and for the group and we want to avoid it. The training staff adheres to the camp procedures, and the training is done in Hebrew only.
