The directors of Machane Pioneers Camp in Vermont, where campers learn survival skills, teamwork and self reliance, announced that both the boys and girls divisions will be opening for summer 2021.
The boys’ division will be celebrating its 10th year, and the girls’ division, Camp Chavaya, will be entering its third year. Director Rabbi Michoel Nagel told Anash.org that they are planning for a special summer, following up on the success of previous summers.
“We aim to give the campers an experience to remember, while at the same time making Yiddishkeit come alive for each camper,” he said.
Machane Pioneers Boys camp has three divisions, catering to boys aged 10-16. Located in the green mountains of Vermont with 100+ acres of forestland, meadows, and mountain brooks, it offers a beautiful and refreshing environment in which to learn the many skills and knowledge that are taught at the camp.
Head counselor for the boys division will be Aharon Margolin and Yekusiel Kaplan will be director of operations.
“Pioneers Camp Provides a unique, action-packed camp experience where your son will acquire life skills. We are geared to help campers gain a sense of responsibility, leadership skills and most importantly simchat chaim — a joy of life itself,” they said.
The girls division, Camp Chavaya, directed by Mrs. Batsheva Nagel, is located in central Vermont and caters to girls ages 10-14. It is a place for young Jewish women to actualize their true potential through experiencing nature and being creative.
“You can expect your daughter to learn about nature and survival skills, create beautiful art and have fun,” directors said.
