Holiday Camps

Summer and Passover Holiday Camps

During the Passover and summer holidays and particularly in August when the majority of special education schools are closed, the parents have to look after their children and find occupations for them.
Because of financial constraints and because of the lack of options most of the children pass their time at home in front of the television and experience a feeling of alienation and loneliness.

The Passover and summer camps at Gan Hayeled are the answer for special education children in Haifa and its surroundings who participate in the activities of Gan Hayeled during the year. The stay at the camps, the trips and the broad range of activities provide the children with two weeks of pleasure and enjoyment.

The children pass the summer holidays in the same way as other children and the parents have a short break from the intensive care that comes with looking after their children in the summer months.

*At the first week of the Passover school vacation we hold a seven-day camp for the children from the “szold” school.

* At the beginning of August we hold a ten-day camp at Gan Hayeled Haifa for children from the Henrietta Szold School who are not entitled to receive support from the welfare authorities during this month.

* During the last two weeks of August, just before the start of the new school year, we hold a camp at Gan Hayeled Haifa for autistic children who have finished the summer activities at their schools and for children at the special education kindergartens.

Gan Hayeled is the only framework that provides an answer during the summer period.
