Tour La’Agam (Tour to the Lake) is a spectacular bike trip around Lake Michigan for teens. You will bike nearly 800 miles as you travel through the upper loop of Wisconsin and Michigan, exploring the byways, forests, dunes, and the simple enormity and beauty of the lake. Services are part of each day and Jewish learning directed toward a better understanding of ecology and the land will round out your experience. Of course, Shabbat will be a day of rest each week. This remarkable ride will be a celebration of the power of the lake and its vitality as well as an exploration of your physical and spiritual self.

Tour La'Agam is a traveling community that builds itself a little more each day. Following a week of training and preparation at camp in Oconomowoc, you will ride northeast meeting the lake near Sheboygan. From there you will make your way north to the legendary Door County Peninsula, ferry over to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, cross the Straits of Mackinac, pass through the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and head down to the ferry boat from Luddington back to Wisconsin. Once arriving there you will feel the thrill of the last bike leg of the trip as you pedal right back into Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute, with the camp community celebrating your return!

Tour La’Agam will be led by specially trained staff. Each night will be spent camping out in tents at campsites along the way. A van for support and gear will accompany the group. Bicycles will be provided by OSRUI, as will tents and cooking gear. Personal gear will be the responsibility of each participant. A separate gear list will be provided to registrants in the spring.
