Wilderness Leader I Camp Tawonga, Yosemite - (Groveland, CA)

Camp Tawonga is a co-ed residential children's summer camp located outside Yosemite National Park. The campers range in age from 7-17 and participate in 1-week, 2-week, or 3-week programs throughout the summer. The Camp Tawonga Staff is a family of 180 dedicated individuals, working together to create a vital Jewish community where children thrive. This outstanding team includes people with both Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds. Camp Tawonga's mission is to foster positive self-image for campers, create a cooperative community, teach children to live in partnership with nature, and offer children a positive background of spirituality. The work at Camp is demanding, with long hours, high intensity, and little privacy. The rewards are great: the joy of helping children grow, the beauty of the mountains and river, and the camaraderie of working with other enthusiastic and caring staff.
