How are the campers grouped?
Each camper is assigned to a group (burelis) generally by age groupings (e.g. 9-10-11 year olds, etc.) and each group has 1-2 counselors (vadovai). The groups sleep in barracks with about 5-6 kids per room with their counselors. Each group occupies 1-3 rooms. Meeting other kids is EASY!!! They are all around you! Counselors are trained to help kids quickly make friends! The camp staff will also help facilitate friendship building. We have lots of staff members supporting the counselors; our staff to camper ratio is about 1:2 !
