A typical day at Camp Tawonga is designed by the cabin group along with their counselor. Children learn consensus decision making and are introduced to activities that they might not have chosen by themselves.

Boker Tov -
Good morning campers! |

The wake up bell rings and campers roll out of their sleeping bags. It's time to get ready for the day. Brush those teeth, then hats, sunscreen, full water bottles, and out the door. |

Sweet Dreams |

Counselors bring closure to the day by leading a bedtime ritual like asking each child to share the best part of their day. Younger bunks may read a chapter of a book each night and teenagers may participate in a discussion about issues they face growing up.
