Summer should be a time of joy, adventure, and carefree fun—but for many families struggling to make ends meet, the season brings added stress and uncertainty. At Meir Panim, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of summer, and no parent should have to worry about how their child will be cared for during the break.
For children whose families cannot afford summer programs, Camp Meir Panim provides an unforgettable experience filled with exciting activities, outdoor adventures, and nourishing meals. Each summer, our dedicated staff, along with a team of compassionate volunteers, create a dynamic and meaningful schedule designed to keep children engaged, learning, and thriving in a safe, supportive environment.
From arts and crafts to interactive workshops, from thrilling water sports to endless play, Camp Meir Panim offers something for every child to enjoy. And because we know that proper nutrition fuels both body and mind, we provide a full, balanced breakfast, a delicious lunch, and plenty of snacks to keep campers energized throughout the day.
More than just a camp, Camp Meir Panim is a place where children can build confidence, make new friends, and create lasting memories—regardless of their family’s financial situation. This is just one of the many ways Meir Panim works year-round to meet the unique needs of Israel’s most vulnerable communities, ensuring that every child has the chance to grow, explore, and dream.
