Our amazing two-week summer camp for ages 8-15!
Machaneh Kadimah is LJY-Netzer's biggest event of the year. we bring together hundreds of young Liberal Jews from all over the country. Aged between 8 and 15 years old they have the Liberal Jewish experience of their lives! Two weeks of magical, creative, fun and engaging activities - Machaneh Kadimah is the place to be this summer.
“Easily the best two weeks of my year, I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather spend my summer!”2017 Participant
Machaneh Kadimah is an amazing inclusive environment where all participants can flourish, make friends and have fun. We run sessions ranging from swimming to singing, drama to den-building, discussions about Israel to debates about Jewish identity, friendship bracelet-making to football and dodgeball to discos. There is never a dull moment on Machaneh Kadimah!

Staff
Machaneh Kadimah is staffed by a team of enthusiastic, dedicated and experienced madrichim (leaders). All our leaders are fully trained and DBS checked. These are the talented young people who plan and deliver two weeks’ worth of magnificently creative activities, and all are LJY-Netzer members who want to give to the class of 2019 what they experienced when they were on Kadimah as participants. Overseeing the whole camp is the LJY-Netzer movement work team. They are fully trained professionals employed by Liberal Judaism, all of whom have worked extensively with young people and have led multiple Kadimahs as well as other LJY-Netzer programmes. We also have on site a medic, a welfare office and Becca Fetterman, who is the Director or Youth.
The Site
Kadimah 2015 is going to be held at a beautiful boarding school in Wiltshire. Its extensive grounds and many facilities is what makes every day of Kadimah exciting and different. Whether you want a dip in the swimming pool, or to create a masterpiece in the new art room, or to explore the fields and gardens of this fascinating school, it really has something for everyone.
