GIMMEL – YEAR 10
23rd-30th December
Gimmel is a special machane, as the year group that has been formed over previous machanot receives its own Shevet name, which carries the year group’s idea throughout the years.
The theme of the camp is looking at being Jewish in the modern world. No doubt you’ll have strong opinions on this so Gimmel will provide the perfect forum for these discussions. We also ensure that the Shevet leaves machane with a real passion and a sense of responsibility to start a chesed project of their own in Bnei Akiva

H-COURSE – YEAR 12
23rd-30th December
This is a very special machane for our year 12 chanichim, and is a must for those who wish to become Bnei Akiva madrichim in the future. The ‘H’ stands for Hadracha (leadership), and this course will guide you through the skills that will stay with you for life, not just for machane.
The week will end with all the theory that you have learnt being put into practice. You will make a visit to a younger machane and become madrich for a day.
