Scarce Zionist youth movement booklet describing the experience of a summer camp in British Mandate era Palestine, likely to a kibbutz. The kibbutz movement had a long connection with European Jewish youth groups, and such visits would have been encouraged. Such kibbutzim - largely in the form of communal agricultural settlements, though they would later include other industries such as factories - would go on to play a large role in the Zionist movement and the partition of Palestine a decade later.

The booklet is illustrated with four maps, titled "Map of our trip to the sources of the Jordan and the Naftali Mountains", "the Land of Israel in the days of the First Temple", "the Land of Israel in the days of the Second Temple", and one which labels the "mandate area" and "the territory of the proposed Jewish state".

Wrappers somewhat worn, otherwise in good condition.
