Tevya | Summer 2023 – Week 6

Dear Tevya families, Our campers learn many life-lessons at Tevya.

Tevya | Summer 2023 – Week 5

Dear Tevya families, At camp, time doesn’t seem to matter, until it really does matter. The end of last week was one of those moments where time at camp really matters and comes into focus.

Tevya | Summer 2022 Week 7 Update

I like when experiences come full circle. As sad as it is that Summer 2022 is coming to an end, the end of a Tevya summer is often marked by things coming full circle, and it fills me with hope and pride. At the talent show, our Birya Big Sisters sang “In My Dreams” by […]
