Divisions (עידות)
The whole camp is divided into age groups (עידות): Gurim (lion cubs): Rising 3rd and 4th graders Gefen (grapes): Rising 5th and 6th graders K'firim (young lions): Rising 7th graders Arayot (lions): Rising 8th graders Levi'im (lions): Rising 9th graders Ma'alot (rising): Rising 10th graders Kerem (vineyard): Rising 11th graders In addition, there are three divisions for those too young for Gurim whose parents work at the camp. Gan (garden): Infants Nitzanim (buds): Toddlers Parparim (butterflies): Young children Na'aleh Rising 12th graders have the option to participate in a six-week educational trip to Israel. This trip is called "Na'aleh" (נאלה). The trip is usually staffed by one or two mature counselors, who have worked at the camp for multiple years. Counselors (מדריכים) and Rashei Eidot (ראשי עידות) 18-year-olds have the opportunity to return to camp as counselors. Sometimes, counselors return for multiple years as a counselor. Every division has multiple counselors and one or two Rashei Eidot ("roshes"). Roshes must be a returning counselor, because they need more experience than their co-counselors. ==References==
