- Easy and kid-friendly recipes to make together
- Ideas for Tikkun Olam focused projects

Tawonga House Parties |

How it works: Bring five families or more to your home for a Tawonga presentation/meet and greet and we'll send a director or other year-round staff member to your house to help introduce your friends to the magic of Camp Tawonga.
