DAILY SCHEDULE

תכנית היום

Jewish values and practices are woven into our everyday programming with deliberation and purpose. Jewish and secular programming is merged in order to foster campers’ personal growth by immersing them in everyday Jewish learning opportunities with campers of every age group. This model encourages friendships among all campers and, thereby, broadens their access to diversity, varying perspectives.

As campers attend various activities throughout the day, Jewish values such as a sense of Kehilah (commmunity), Derech Eretz (common decency) and Achrayut (responsibility) are woven into our camp culture.

At Massad, campers will choose their activities for the day. Follow your interests, hone your skills and/or try something new!
