Outdoor Summer Program for Jewish High School Students
SCA’s Kosher Conservation Crews provide participants with an opportunity to spend a month working on a service project while building community and gaining a deeper understanding of their connection to the environment.
As a member of a Conservation Crew, you and 5 other teens will spend 4 weeks in a residential front or backcountry setting completing conservation projects, learning outdoor skills, and making a difference in the world. Crews are led by two qualified adult leaders with experience working in Jewish outdoor programs. You’ll spend the last few days of the program on an outdoor adventure trip with your crew.
Join other teenagers from around the country for this unique co-ed outdoor volunteer opportunity. During the program all food will be kosher and the camp kitchen will be parve. Work, rest and travel days are scheduled so that Shabbat can be observed. Crews will run for 30 days. Exact dates and locations will be determined in the spring.
