Campers entering second through seventh grades live in newly updated bunks. Our cabins are rustic, and include solid wooden bunk beds with guard rails and new mattresses for campers and counselors. Ample storage unit cubbies are provided. All Cabins have indoor toilets and sinks, and the newly renovated shower houses are cleaned on a daily basis. Campers entering 8th and 9th grades live on another side of camp ("The Plex") with larger cabins featuring indoor bathrooms, sinks and showers.

The Bonim Travel Camp builds character and positive social skills, along with a strong Jewish identity, through expertly planned educational, recreational, and cultural experiences. The Bonim team starts their journey with 20 days exploring Costa Rica and ends with a delicious trip to Hershey, PA. This extremely popular program, for campers entering 10th & 11th grades, seamlessly combines community service, camp programming, and exciting trips throughout the summer. Session 1: PURA VIDA! Bonim campers have the chance of a lifetime to spend 20 incredible days with their best friends in Costa Rica, enjoying the Costa Rican meaning of "Pure life!" aka "Pura Vida!" During the first week of the session your camper will spend their days reuniting with old friends and building new connections at Camp Laurelwood while preparing for their trip. Throughout the day, Bonim campers have the opportunity to choose their own daily schedule as well as participate in camp wide evening activities. In Costa Rica, campers will spend each day exploring the vast rainforests of the country and experiencing all of the activities and adventures Costa Rica has to offer! Plus, our campers have the unique opportunity to participate in meaningful community service projects where they can give back to the local Costa Rican community. Session 2: The fun filled adventures do not stop in Costa Rica! As the most senior campers at Camp Laurelwood, Bonim campers get to customize their daily schedules, filling their days with their favorite sports and activities. In addition to their time at camp, Bonim campers get the unique opportunity to participate in fun and exciting weekly overnight camping trips, culminating the last week with a 3-day trip to Hershey, PA!
