First-Time Campers
Ready? Set? Camp!
Welcome to your first summer at Camp Tel Noar!
Everyone has a first summer here, so let’s get you ready. You’ll feel you are a part of the warm Tel Noar family right away!
We start each session with lots of games, both as a whole camp and as a bunk. Campers all have lots of new friends by dinnertime the first day. Plus, at meals we’ll assign each camper to a table with kids of all ages, so everyone will get to know each other together. You’ll also get to know the other bunks in your cabin. Our unique cabins hold three bunks and a common room, so that you can easily make and hang out with lots of new friends.
Three ways to dive in:
REGULAR
SESSIONS
