Modern Orthodox · Jewish Teen Travel
June 28 – August 10, 2027. Coast To Coast travels for 6+ weeks as teens going into 10th grade will be travelling south through Atlanta and Texas, west to LA and San Francisco, through the Rockies, and back home.
Our Mission
Coast to Coast was built for Modern Orthodox teens who want to explore the entire U.S. at full depth with a Jewish experience. While travelling, we will be seeing major sights along the way visiting Jewish synagogues from coast to coast and staying in Jewish communities on Shabbat.
From June 28 to August 10, 2027, teens going into 10th grade depart from Englewood, NJ and travel south through Philadelphia, D.C., Charlotte, and Atlanta—then west through New Orleans, Texas, the Grand Canyon, and on to San Diego, LA, and San Francisco—before looping back through Salt Lake City, Yellowstone, the Dakotas, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland to come home.
"Jewish identity isn't inherited passively. It's discovered on the road, around a Shabbat table in a city you've never been to before."
Glatt kosher food, Shabbat in Orthodox communities, daily minyan, and a fully halachic environment throughout.
Teens will learn first hand about places they've never been and visit historical sights of our country.
Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Crater Lake, the Grand Canyon, the Space Needle—America's wonders woven throughout every week of the journey.
Volunteer projects in cities across the route—giving back to both Jewish and broader communities as an expression of Torah values, not just an activity.

What Makes Us Different
Glatt kosher, Shabbat in Orthodox communities, daily minyan, and a halachic environment from Englewood to LA and back.
Throughout the country, we will have special guests speak to our teens. CEO's, Rabbi's in different communities, sports players and more.
Intentionally small cohorts so every teen is known, heard, and genuinely cared for by staff every single day of the trip.
Action packed days exploring, sightseeing, and having fun. Every day ends with an exciting night activity.
Community service projects in Cleveland, Albuquerque, Houston, San Francisco—giving back as a Torah value, woven into the route. Certificate given to each teen upon completion of the trip.
Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Crater Lake, the Grand Canyon, the Badlands—awe-inspiring America is part of the Jewish journey.
Kosher food shopping in every major city brought along the trip. Dinners at Kosher restaurants, JCC's, and Chabads along the way.
Structured absorption time every week, teens go around the shabbat table reflecting on the week.

From Our Community
My son had the best time in camp Segal! He waited every morning for camp to start and had so much fun. The camp was run super professionally and well. Non stop action, sports, and fun!
My daughter went to Camp Ruach last summer and had a WONDERFUL time! Max (the director) was so well organized and everything ran so well. A calendar with a special activity or theme was planned for everyday, and communication with parents was excellent before and throughout the summer.
My kids had the best time at Camp Segal!They came home everyday exhausted and with the biggest smiles!! The staff was amazing and they really just care at Camp Segal. My kids are already begging me to send them next year!
