This unique, fun-filled program is run in Hebrew for rising 4th – 9th graders. Campers who have aged out of Machane B’Yachad are encouraged to check out one of Friends of Israel Scouts teen adventures.

Machane B’Yachad offers 13 days of overnight summer camp with all of the activities of a traditional summer camp plus activities that are unique to Israel Scouts. More than 70 diverse elective activities – such as swimming, basketball, gaga, boating and arts and crafts – are offered in combination with Scouting activities designed to bond the campers and  deepen their knowledge of Israeli culture. The result – FUN! This diverse, immersive program, run in Hebrew by Israeli counselors and Hebrew-speaking friends, will broaden campers’ knowledge and use of Hebrew!
