The long and hot summer break in Israel is often a time when Israeli kids find themselves with nothing to do. Many regress into unproductive, and even harmful, behavior. But that\u2019s not the case for Negba\u2019s kids and youth. From the day school let out, they\u2019ve continued coming to Negba for quality programming, as they have all year.<\/p>\n

Negba’s children with Moadon’s Teens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And what a packed July it\u2019s been. All of Negba\u2019s frameworks for children and teens in Beersheva and Jerusalem are in operation at their regular locations with full staff, offering social and informal educational activities almost daily. Many of the informal activities relate to the summer\u2019s theme, \u201cB\u2019Shvil Yisrael,\u201d alluding both to the country\u2019s landmark Israel Trail, and to doing good for society. Negba\u2019s kids interacted with two groups of youth giving back to the community: French teens from the Moadon Association in Paris who spent two days volunteering with Negba, and teens of Dimona\u2019s Bnei Akiva branch who each \u201cadopted\u201d a Negba \u201clittle brother\/sister\u201d and whose branch led three days of joint activities across Israel. Many of Negba’s children also enjoyed group visits to their national service volunteers\u2019 homes, which was a real treat to peek into the lives of their year-round role models.<\/p>\n

Fun at the swimming pool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course it wouldn\u2019t be summer without getting wet and enjoying some wholesome fun, like the average Israeli kid. Special outings included pool trips, Dialogue in the Dark at the Israel Children\u2019s Museum, a teens\u2019 2-day hike in the Jerusalem Hills, therapeutic horseback riding, a \u201cFind Your Counselor\u201d activity in the mall, a boat ride on the Mediterranean Sea, and more. Negba parents know that their children are in a safe and structured environment for much of the summer, acquiring positive skills and accumulating enriching life experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
