Wilderness Torah

Shomrim (“Guardians”) is a year-long leadership program where teens immerse in wilderness, gain life skills, build peer community, and learn Jewish values that guide them through life.

Teens meet one Thursday evening each month where they develop wilderness skills, explore teachings of the Jewish cycle of time, and receive support from peers and adult mentors.

Through games, crafts, ancestral stories, group challenges, and council, participants cultivate a space of authentic trust and belonging that offers them a profound connection typically difficult to find in school or social settings.

The program also kicks-off with an immersive 3-day backpacking trip, and concludes at the end of the year with a weeklong backpacking journey that they map, plan, and organize together.
