Adventure Camp
An Unforgettable Summer
Close-knit groups (10-15 teens with 2-3 guides) embark on an epic journey together into the wilderness, backpacking, canoeing, rock climbing, praying, learning, singing, and celebrating Shabbat. Adventure Camp fosters social connection and personal growth through group challenges, wilderness skills, and creative activities. Our programs interweave a holistic approach to Jewish learning, love of nature, rich discussion, and joyous prayer, in a manner that supports diverse perspectives and practice.

Mr. Nadav Slovin
Nadav is a passionate seeker and educator. On his journey toward purposeful living, Nadav adventured through thick forests, abundant farms, diverse modes of spiritual practice, and into the richness of Jewish text and tradition. While studying for his BA in Philosophy at McGill University and subsequently receiving his degree in education from Herzog College in Israel, Nadav led countless outdoor adventures and farming immersives with Camp Ramah in the Rockies, Justifi, and Teva to name a few. The powerful intersection between wilderness and Jewish practice inspired Nadav to found Lech-Lecha in 2019 and he has found great joy in facilitating genuine encounters with self and others, creation and Hashem ever since.
