All campers and staff sleep in two large dorm buildings. The Lev (Hebrew for "heart") typically houses our younger campers, while The Nefesh (Hebrew for "soul") typically houses our older campers. There are between 2-6 campers per room. Bunks are comprised of 2-4 camper rooms.
We set up our dorms to mimick the feeling of being in a house or cabin- counselors sleep in rooms directly adjacent to the campers in their “bunk”. Camper rooms have curtains on their doorways for privacy, but doors are never allowed to be shut. Each hallway has its own set of bathrooms and shower rooms.
Bunks are organized according to age and gender. Eden Village West assigns campers to rooms and bunks that best affirm their gender identity.
Room = Group of 2-6 campers
Bunk = Group of 2-4 rooms
Tribe = All bunks of the same age group
