Israel Scouts Friendship Caravan

The Israel Scouts Friendship Caravan is part of a larger delegation of approximately 100 teenage scouts who travel to North America each summer to represent the land of Israel.  Using song, dance, and storytelling, the Israel Scouts celebrate the Jewish heritage and bring the sights and sounds of Israel to life. 

Each summer the Israeli Scouts Friendship Caravan visits Ann Arbor for a day in July or August.  The Israel Scouts spend part of the day entertaining and educating the campers at Camp Raanana, the JCC's summer day camp for children entering grades K-8.  Following their visit to camp, the Israel Scouts delight the entire community with an evening performance at the JCC.  The evening starts at 6:00 pm with a pizza dinner with the Israel Scouts.  The free performance begins at 7:00 pm and is always a hit will community members of all ages.  Advance registration and payment is required for the dinner.  

Host families are needed to help host the members of the Israel Scouts Friendship Caravan for the night after the performance.  If you are interested in hosting or would like more information about the Israel Scouts performance, please contact Deborah Huerta at deborahhuerta@jccfed.org or 734-971-0990.
