Green Horizons offers educational outdoor activities for youth in Israel. The organization focuses on hiking to foster the development of interpersonal and leadership skills, social responsibility, whilst also promoting Zionist values and connection to the Land of Israel.
Green Horizons’ activities cater for children between 5th and 12th grade. Throughout this period, the children are divided into small groups and facilitated by guides. The program includes weekly activities, overnight hikes once a month, and longer treks and camps during the school vacations.
With the help of the counselors, the students learn about Israel’s history, geography and environment and develop survival skills. Through the adventures and experiences during the hikes, the teenagers acquire self-confidence, independence, curiosity and a better understanding of their surroundings.
