SUNDAY FAMILY CAMP
Ages 4-6
Sunday Family Camp is free! No membership required!
Interested in your little ones learning about Judaism? Join us for Sunday Family Camp. We meet from 10:00-12:00 one Sunday morning per month. The Sunday Program focuses mostly on holidays as they fall on the Jewish calendar, and also includes some work with prayers and Hebrew letters, as well as Jewish themes and values. We use a mixture of crafts, songs, dance, games, activities and stories to help our students experience Judaism. Parent participation is required for this program, so that parents can help support their child’s learning during our class time.
So, if you have a child (or children) between the ages of 4 and 6 we invite you to sign up for this year’s Sunday Family Camp and not only help your child (or children) discover their heritage but also rediscover yours!
Please RSVP to Irina at hsadmin[at]etzhayim.org in advance if your child will be attending to ensure we have enough materials for each month's project.
