FAQ

Q: My friend is participating in a different BreakAway project. Will I get to see him/her?
A: Yes. The great part about BreakAway is you can spend the day immersed in what interests you, and still get to hang out with your friends and all the teens from the other projects during meals, night activities, trips and down time.

Q: I don't have any outdoor experience. Is this program for me?
A: Yes, whether you were an all-star Boy Scout or have never camped in the great outdoors, everyone will have a fun time learning new skills and experiencing outdoor adventure together. You will definitely return home with the skills to pitch a tent in your backyard and light up a campfire!

Q: What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
A: Weather is part of the fun. Most activities can be adapted for indoors. Remember to bring appropriate rain gear- this is part of the adventure.

Q: Can you accommodate my dietary restrictions?
A: Special diets and food allergies can be accommodated. All food and preparation follows Kosher guidelines and is cooked in a CRC certified Kosher kitchen.
