Go Big.Go West.

The ultimate traveling summer camp for yeshiva bochurim. Canyons, national parks, waterfalls, lakes and a much needed Bein Hazmanim reset.

Starting at just$1,950!

The Experience

See the West. For real.

Merchav West is a traveling camp built for bochurim who want to actually experience the American West, not just drive past it. Every day is packed: hikes, water, sand, off-road country and big nights, with barely a wasted minute.

From our home base of secluded forest cabins we hit the road, staying at hotels on the route with a few nights of camping under the stars mixed in along the way.
