Machaneh Sign Ups

Camp Signups
Dear Parents,

After 2 years of anticipation, we are finally returning to our beloved campsite!

Through the ideas of Torah V’Avodah and religious Zionism, Machaneh aims to create a space where madrichim and channichim are enriched, inspired and motivated to become active contributors of society. We are bringing together hundreds of people in an environment that is safe and fun. The beach, tiyulim, chuggim, Zionism, inspiring tochniot, powerful ruach sessions, Torah learning and non-stop action are all happening this year at Machaneh Aloh Na’aleh.

As Jews, our story is never one of victimhood, but rather one of hope and rising up out of the ashes to live empowered lives dictated by our values, heritage and history. Machaneh Aloh Na’aleh aims to embed the Jewish story of triumph and strength into every single channich and madrich. For when we fall, we fall to the dust but when we rise, we rise to the stars.

Machaneh Aloh Na’aleh is happening on the following dates:

Ktan Tanim (Grade 3 and 4): 14th – 19th December
Gurim (Grade 5 and 6): 14th – 26th December
Roim, Moledet, Hashachar, Rephael, Sinai (Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11): 7th – 26th December
Gurim and Ktan Tanim Maddies (Matrics): 9th – 26th December
Madrichim: 30th November – 26th December
A-Guard (Grade 11 optional) – 4th – 26th December

Application Process:

If you want to stop filling out a form and continue later, please click the save button at the bottom of the page and a link to your form will be emailed to you.

Your camp application consists of multiple different forms, which makes up one single camp application. Please make sure that all forms are completed. At the top of every form there is a description of what is required for that certain form.

Financial Assistance:
At Bnei Akiva we have a policy of never denying a camper the opportunity to attend our programmes. Throughout the year we campaign tirelessly to assist our chanichim who can simply not afford this opportunity. If you would like to apply for financial assistance, in the form of an extended payment plan or subsidy, please note the application deadline is the 2nd of October 2022. We will unfortunately not be able to process any late applications.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Bnei Akiva Office. You can now contact Bnei Akiva on WhatsApp! Send us your questions, or pop us a message if you need help and we will try our best to help you: 060 770 1222

Campers whom the madrichim and camp leadership believe require attention may be examined by trained counsellors, social workers and psychologists available on the programme. The psychologists and social workers work as a team together with other support staff, such as doctors, camp leadership and madrichim. No applicant is seen without the knowledge of his/her Rosh (head of group). This systematic way of working necessitates the sharing of confidential information and in terms of which Bnei Akiva South Africa exercise complete discretion.

14. In terms of recent legislation, if an applicants confidential information is withheld, Bnei Akiva South Africa reserves the right to summarily terminate the applicants further participation at the event. cannot be divulged without his/her consent, except in certain situations. Therefore, unless there are pressing reasons (eg. in case of emergency), persons over 14 years of age will only be seen by a member of the camp support staff on his/her completion of the below consent.

15. Bnei Akiva South Africa reserves the right to search trommels and any other personal belongings of the applicant while on Machaneh.

A chultzah is an official Bnei Akiva shirt that allows the camper to represent the movement as well as their individual shichvah.

This is offered for our campers in Moledet (Grade 8), Hashachar (grade 9), Rephael (Grade 10) and Sinai (Grade 11). We highly encourage each camper in these groups to have their own chultzah as it will be used during Ruach sessions on this camp and the camps to come. It is also a special memento from your Bnei Akiva experience.

We especially encourage our Moledet (grade 8) campers to purchase a chultzah as it is an important part of their naming night!

PLEASE NOTE: Campers in Hashachar (grade 9), Rephael (Grade 10) and Sinai (Grade 11) may already have a branded shichvah chultzah. If this is the case, you do not need another one.
