The Dallas Jewish Community has a longstanding relationship with the Caravan dating back several decades, and this year we are excited to inform you that we are expanding back to 9 nights this summer.
Anyone who has hosted can tell you about the amazing relationship you develop with your guest. It’s a wonderful opportunity for your children to learn about Israel from a peer, build long-lasting relationships, and have friends to visit when they travel to Israel.
The Guidelines:
- Host family must be Jewish
- Must have at least one child in the 10 – 18-year-old range
- At least one parent must be at home during the stay
- We will match Scouts with families of similar dietary observance
Expectations:
- The Caravan has activities during the weekdays; you will need to provide transportation to a drop-off point in North Dallas in the mornings (before 8 am) and pick them back up in the late afternoon/evening.
- There are a few evening activities that host families will be invited to join.
- Spend time with your Scout as a family. They are here to learn about America and build relationships with you as well.
- There is an annual host family orientation within a month of the Caravan’s arrival; where we will be able to share which Scout you’ve been matched with.
