Summer 2013 Update from Mazkirut!

Here is an update from our Mazkirut (head staff) about how the summer is shaping up:

We hope that you are all getting excited for the summer! We can’t wait for the cold weather and school to be over so we can head up to camp for an amazing Kayitz 2013!

Mazkirut has been hard at work these past two months preparing to hire the tzevet (counsellors) for the summer. We are happy to announce that we have already hired Brandon Pearl as our Rosh Agam (Head of Waterfront and Safety), and Alex Barnes and Julie Dancis as our Madatz Madrichim (Leadership Counsellors). They are all so excited to take on these positions and have great ideas to make this summer awesome!

We will be hiring the rest of our tzevet by the end of March and we hope to be able to introduce them all to you then.

There are lots of fun programs to look forward to this summer! We are very proud to have two Bnei Mitzvot taking place at camp. There will be a Torah reading in the morning for each one and a rocking dance party that night to celebrate! We are also pleased to announce the return of Richard Lee to run a special music program for a week during second session for our chanichim. Lastly, there is a US Trip in the works for our older campers (Bonim and Bogrim) to visit another Habonim Dror Camp, Machaneh Galil in Pennsylvania. This is a great opportunity for our chanichim to meet some of their national kvutzah before they go on MBI.

In addition to all of these specialty events we are planning all of our regular amazing activities such as Omanut (Arts & Crafts), Drama, Tiyulim (Camping Trips) Waterfront, Sports and much much more!

The summer is approaching fast and we want to hear from you! If you have any ideas or thoughts about programming for the summer send us an e-mail at mazkirut2013@gmail.com. Or you could attend our upcoming Parent’s Town Hall (Info coming soon) to talk about what you and your child wants from Machaneh this summer.

Hope to hear from you soon and have a Happy and Healthy Passover,

Mazkirut 2013
