Summer Machane

Every summer Bnei Akiva is the place to be as we run our fantastic machanot (camps) for Years 3-10. All the Bnei Akiva camps are run by volunteers, who go through a selection process from which only the most talented, responsible, capable and committed leaders are chosen.

COVID-19 - Whilst there is much uncertainty over the current Coronavirus pandemic, we are hopeful our Summer programmes can go ahead as scheduled. We have a number of contingencies in place, and will keep enrolled parents informed as the situation develops.
