Quail Program (Grades 1-2)

Quail program campers are starting to gain a little more independence and learning to make decisions for themselves. They are encouraged to try new things, and new activities are introduced at each grade-level. Campers experience creative play, compromise, friendship, and sharing within a group of their peers.

Like all age groups, Quail program campers will enjoy

• Six rotating activity periods each day, plus lunch, swim, and juice bars!
• A unique group theme created by their group, leading to special adventures.
• Activities like archery, arts & crafts, field sports and games, gaga, hiking, initiatives (team building activities), nature & ecology, playground sports & games (basketball, handball, tetherball, volleyball, etc.), performing arts, and swim!
  • Plus the age-specific activities listed below.
• Practicing the Kinneret Roots: Independence, Teamwork, Creativity, Friendship, and Community.

Important things to know about the Quail program
