Floor 3: Dreams of Freedom 1880-1945
Floor 2: Choices and Challenges of Freedom 1945-Present

Feel free to download and pass out the activities in advance. For groups larger than 30, it is suggested that campers begin on different floors to avoid congestion.
Docents will be available for each facilitated visit to help campers and counselors with the activities and answer questions about the exhibition.
On average, visits of two hours are expected. Kosher lunches can be provided.
