Days will be filled by all the great sites and attractions available on the West Coast. Nights will include fun night activities in the hotel, learning, or relaxing. Daily topical learning sessions will round out the program with interesting Torah topics often related to tour locations. Touray West will be supervised by Rabbi Shmuel and Mrs. Rebecca Skaist. A faculty member at Bruriah High School in Elizabeth, NJ, Mrs. Skaist has loads of prior camp and travel program experience. She will supervise a stellar staff of counselors who will guide the participants on their adventure through the Western USA. Here is a Google map with a listing of all the places on the itinerary. The tour starts in San Francisco, then heads South to L.A., followed by Arizona and Nevada. Check it out!! For a much better listing of all the sites, click on the larger map.View Larger Map |

July 1 - July 31, 2008 We are no longer accepting applications for summer 2008. Thanks! Please apply early for summer 2009. Participants will stay mostly in hotels, with some motels and home-hospitality for one Shabbos. The rooming arrangement for the hotels will be four girls per room with two queen-size double beds. Touray will provide 3 meals a day. Food provided will be strictly kosher according to high standards. Cholov Yisroel will be provided whenever possible. If anyone requires, a non-dairy substitute will be made available. A Tour Leader will accompany the participants. The Tour Leader is an experienced professional who is responsible for the day to day details of the tour. She will guide the tour and ensure that everyone is safe and sound. She will also interface with parents regarding those issues appropriate for parental involvement. The counselors, ages 20 - 23 are there to help and assist the participants to get the most of their summer. There are approximately 4 counselors assigned to each bus (approximately 40 to 45 participants) in addition to the group leader. Touray West will not have a doctor or nurse accompanying the group. Medical issues will be handled by local doctors. If you have special medical needs, please contact our office to discuss those needs well in advance. Touray will not provide medical insurance. All participants should be covered by their own family medical insurance before joining the program. The dress code will require skirts over the knee and sleeves to the elbow. In addition to the dress code, clothing should demonstrate the midah of Tznius. For more details on all our tour policies, please request a Touray West handbook from the Touray office. Travel will be aboard air-conditioned coach buses. Travel will generally take place during the day: Touray has no plans to travel on any overnight bus rides. Acceptance to Touray will be based on an interview and suitable references. We reserve the right to accept or reject any candidate as we see fit. Touray has specific rules and policies, partially outlined in the Touray Guidebook, with which all participants must comply. Touray reserves the right to remove any participant from the program. Should this occur, no refunds will be given.
