Machal
For campers completing 9th grade

Machal marks the first year that these campers enjoy a program in Moshava specifically for their own age group. Machal helps bring these campers closer together by challenging them to find that inner, pioneering spirit demonstrated by early Zionist settlers. Campers live in large army tents, and also spend significant time outside camp. Machal is highlighted by a three-day canoe/bike trip. Machal campers come home tired but with a deeper sense of resolve to overcome challenges, a stronger commitment to friends and personal relationships, and a solidified sense of personal and Jewish identity.
