Tsofim Caravan brings together pre-teens from all over San Diego to share in four different adventures. Camper’s bond and form close relationships as they enjoy summer experiences together and participate in various sports, games, art, music, swimming, and overnight adventures. One of the two-week sessions will be traditional camp and the other week will be focusing on the theme as described below.

 

SESSION 1: MISSION BAY AQUATIC CENTER* (During Week 2): June 16- 27

Let’s start the summer with a SPLASH! Mission Bay Aquatic Center will help us get wet and wild with fun activities such as tubing, knee boarding, and more! Teens will spend 5 days at the bay participating in all sorts of fun-in-the-sun activities. You won’t want to miss one of the most popular sessions of the summer! 

 

SESSION 2: WHITEWATER RAFTING* (During Week 2): June 30 - 11

Love adventure, camping, and trying new things? Then join us as we head north for a whitewater rafting expedition! The first week of the session will be spent in San Diego catching waves, playing games, and having a blast while we prepare for our journey. During the second week,  we will head up to Northern California for hiking, rafting, and exploring the beautiful nature all around the Kings River or American River. (Depending on water levels). Teens will camp on the banks of the thundering river and enjoy timeless activities like crafts, sing-alongs, and of course, S’MORES! This is a Tsofim Caravan favorite every year! 

 

SESSION 3: COOKING & COASTERS* (During Week 2): July 14 - 25

Tsofim Caravan will venture out around San Diego . Experience the heart-pounding thrills on the roller coasters and rides at SeaWorld; race down the watery slides of a water park and end the session with a ride on the historic Giant Dipper Roller Coaster at Belmont park. Throughout the 2 week session campers will create wonderful tasty cuisines.
