FAQ’s

What are the safety protocols for this trip?

BB Camp, in partnership with JCC Maccabi Israel, operates BB Camp’s OJA in Israel program. All JCC Maccabi Israel programs are designed with health and safety in mind and are monitored 24/7 by Israel’s official “Situation Room” providing real-time safety and security guidance. As teens’ safety as the guiding priority, they stand ready to adjust policies and schedules based on local conditions.

What will communication be like?

BB Camp leadership will be in daily communication with BB Camp’s OJA trip staff and JCC Maccabi Israel Trip organizers. BB Camp will send weekly parent communication with trip highlights and updates.

What if travel is canceled due to COVID-19?

If traveling abroad becomes challenging due to COVID-19, no problem! BB Camp is committed to creating innovative programs. If necessary, we will pivot to a more traditional OJA in the Pacific Northwest. Either way, we will provide an incredibly meaningful experience for your children this summer.

Please keep in mind that COVID-19 mitigating protocols stated in the FAQ will be adapted to fit an Israel travel trip and current state protocols. Families will be updated with any changes as they arise.
