How old are the counselors?
Most of our staff is college-aged or older. Our youngest counselors are recent high school graduates. In fact, many Na’aleh counselors were campers at Na’aleh or one of our Habonim Dror sister camps and have spent significant time in Israel. Many are also the graduates of the Habonim Dror Workshop program in Israel and have participated in intensive leadership training programs. Additionally, summer shlichim (educational emissaries) from Israel create a living link between the campers in America and their chaverim (friends) in Israel. All of our counselors undergo an intensive application process and are personally interviewed. There is a mandatory 10-day training period immediately orientation prior to camp.
