The Tzeirei Hashluchim and Tzeirei HaShluchos West Coast Winter Camp, in conjunction with MyShliach, has opened registration for 5776.
This camp provides a unique environment for Shluchim’s children here they can spend 8 days with children who go through similar life experiences. The focus of the camp is on chayus, Shlichus and exciting activities all in a caring, chassidishe atmosphere. The staff instill within the boys and girls a sense of pride in the vital help they provide for their parents on Shlichus.
Nestled in the magnificent Verdugo Mountains of Glendale, California, the 113 acre camp affords an amazing experience with beautiful mountain views, hiking trails, archery, sports fields, outdoor amphitheaters and much more. In addition to all the on-site activities, the children also go on fantastic trips such as Six Flags Magic Mountain, bowling, roller skating and more.
The overwhelming majority of these young Shluchim and Shluchos don’t have the opportunities that other children have and don’t live in heavily populated Jewish neighborhoods. It is programs such as this one that afford these children an opportunity to be with children in similar circumstances, learn, refresh and to get the strength necessary to help their parents in their holy work.
This camp is organized and run by Shluchim for Shluchim. It is directed by Rabbi Zalmy and Shterna Kudan and Rabbi Mendel and Rochel Loschak. The executive committee overseeing the camps funding and operations are California Shluchim Rabbis Simcha Backman, Shlomo Bistritsky and Nachman Abend.
The dates of the camp are as follows:
