Entering grades 9 - 10, July 29 - August 10
Backpacking, Rock Climbing, Rafting
A Quest is a road trip full of friends and adventure. Sleep under the stars and visit some of the most spectacular places on earth. Learn new skills, like backpacking, rock climbing, sea kayaking and whitewater rafting, in a supportive, small-group environment. This is adventure travel like none other - you pick the music, you set the menus, and you put together your own totally out-of-the-box Jewish experiences. Like a road trip with a dozen friends, Quest is the perfect balance of thrill time and chill time.
There's no application required - register on your own, or you and a group of friends can sign up together, and as long as there's space available, you'll all be on the same trip! Quests are a lot of freedom and a lot of fun.
