For the younger crowd, it’s a summer time tradition, but this year, adults get to partake in the fun.
Tucson Jewish Community Center is hosting Around the World: Adult Summer Camp Monday, June 12 – Friday, June 16.
Travel the world in just one week and without ever leaving the Tucson. Each day of the camp you’ll be able to channel your inner adventurer, and introduce yourself to the languages, cooking classes, and cultures of China, France, Italy, Mexico, and Israel.
Whether you’d like to set up camp and explore one country, or all discover all five during the week, it’s completely up to you.
One day of the Adult Summer Camp is $60 per person or $50 for Tucson Jewish Community Center members.
If you want to explore each country and hit the mess hall all week long, the weekly rate is $275 per person or $225 for members.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
