This past spring, I had the opportunity to be part of the Onward Israel Camp Counsellor Track program.
This cohort was created specially to allow participants to intern in Israel, but also be able to work at their respective camps. I had the opportunity to intern at a progressive bilingual school, called the Wonder School, in Tel Aviv. It was an enriching experience to be immersed in everyday Israeli life while interning. I experienced a daily commute, I interacted with students and other teachers, and embraced that a Sunday-through-Thursday work week.
The nature of this program allowed our cohort to truly experience Tel Aviv, unlike other organized trips where you are moving from place to place. Onward Israel allowed me to be in Israel, gain professional experience, and meet people from across North America!
