Summer Camp

Meir Panim’s Summer Camp provides a fun, safe and nurturing environment for children whose families can not afford to send them to camp.

Our Solution

Camp Meir Panim provides disadvantaged Israeli children with incredible memories, engaging activities, and daily meals so they can look forward to the summer like everyone else and receive the stimulation and nourishment they need to enter the new school year on the right track. Our Summer Camp also provides struggling parents with the peace of mind that their children are being cared for so they can focus on work and providing for their families instead of worrying about costly child care or having to take time off.

How We Are Making a Difference

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.

I made new friends, went on a trip, and learned how to swim! It was the best summer ever! My favorite part was water day and when we painted our own shirts!

This was the first time my son came home from camp smiling every single day. We couldn’t afford any summer activities this year, and I was so worried. But Camp Meir Panim gave my son a real summer.
