Camp Details

This summer we have two sessions of Kefftana!

Session Aleph starts at the very beginning for Hebrew learners. Learn Hebrew under the guidance of engaging Shlichim (Israeli Counselors) through songs, games, food, projects, videos, and movement. Acquire a rich vocabulary, while also bringing home newfound skills to share with family and friends!

Session Bet is for Campers that speak Hebrew at home and are ready to take their Hebrew skills to the next level. Join your friends and the Camp Keff Shlichim to experience camp b’ivrit (in Hebrew) all session long.

Both sessions culminate in an on-campus sleepover.

Note: Some specialized activities are instructed in English.

Camp-Wide Events
Yom Maccabiah (A Day of Sporting Competition)

כייפטנה (כיתות א’ ו-ב’) בתוכנית חדשה!

בקיץ הזה נציע שני מחזורים של כייפטנה! המחזור הראשון יתחיל ב”אלף” (כמו האות הראשונה באלף-בית) לילדים שאינם דוברי עברית שפת אם. המחזור השני יהיה לילדים דוברי עברית שרוצים לדבר בעברית גם בקיץ עם השליחים שלנו מבית הסוכנות היהודית היישר מישראל!

את כל אחד מהמחזורים נסיים עם לינה במחנה פה בקמפוס!

דוגמא ליום בכייפטנה

ארבע פעילויות יחודיות בכל יום

9:00 מפקד (איסוף בוקר ושירים)

9:45 ספורט ומשחקים (תופסת, כדורגל, מירוץ שליחים, כדור-בסיס)

10:40 עברית (פעילויות בעברית בלבד: יצירה, משחקים, סיפורים, שירים)

לתשומת לבכם, לא כל המדריכים דוברי עברית ולכן חלק מהפעילויות במהלך היום יועברו באנגלית.
