For 2025, we will be offering CSL in Central Europe via BBYO! Please contact [email protected] for more information. 2024 Senior Campers (and age-equivalent) as well as our 2024 SITs are eligible to register. 

We hope to resume CSL in Israel in 2026. More details will be shared as they become available. 

Camp Seneca Lake offers an international trip experience for our rising 11th graders who have completed the Senior Camper program the year before. The trip is tyipcally 3-4 weeks, and has been offered in the past to both Israel and Central Europe. 

The trip destination is determined annually in partnership with our families and trip provider. 

In years when an Israel trip has been offered,  participants traveled throughout the entire country – hiking, touring, tasting, learning, and exploring. The program includes time at several kibbutzim, as well as in all major cities. Additionally, the participants spend some time with families in Modi’in, Rochester’s “P2G” community in Israel.

For more information about the international trip program, please contact the
CSL Team at [email protected]
or at 315-536-9981.
