New for 2023!  Our teen program is growing!

Our 10th and 11th graders will live our Eden Village values with a special 5-7 day journey embedded within their 3 week camp session. With a choice between a Forest Journey or Farm Journey, each of our Keter campers will experience a wild-adventurous-joyful-grounding-culmination-of-all-your-summers-at-camp summer.  

*Stay tuned- details of Keter journey options will be available soon!
