The most wonderful experience
Chalutzim combines a full summer of fun, friends, and camp activities with the experience of being immersed in Hebrew language with Israeli counselors and other fluent Hebrew speakers. It’s the only program of its kind at an overnight camp in all of North America!
Campers entering 10-11th grade of all Hebrew ability levels are welcome, with programs available to help campers prepare. Over the course of the summer, campers typically achieve the equivalent of an entire semester of public high school language proficiency, while they explore their connection with the land and language of the Jewish people.

“My daughter had the most wonderful experience at OSRUI! I could not be more pleased with the experience for our whole family. She’ll be returning next year and for years to come. My son will be attending as well in the future.”
