What is Machaneh Shabbat?

An inclusive, family-based Jewish learning adventure!

 

Using experience-based learning, Machaneh Shabbat meets Saturday mornings for Shacharit Shabbat-inspired sing-alongs, Hebrew through Movement learning, hands-on crafts and activities, and exploration of our Torah stories! We believe we can ignite the lifelong spark for Jewish living and learning through community connection and living Jewishly.

Machaneh Shabbat provides an engaging Jewish education for families with children of all ages and exceptionalities. We welcome the participation of parents, grandparents, and younger siblings too!  Our camp model allows us to explore Torah, prayer, Hebrew and the Jewish year through field trips, drama, art, social action, cooking, building and so much more!  

But don't take our word for it; check out a slideshow of some of our best shenanigans! Or watch some of the videos Morah Jenny has available for families on our YouTube channel! And don't forget to follow @machaneh_shabbat on Instagram for all sorts of family-friendly fun!

Fees for 2022-23

All Machaneh Shabbat families — OrH members and non-members — pay the same fees. Machaneh Shabbat families who choose to become first-time OrH congregation members will receive a 50% discount off the full family membership for the first year, or a free Associate membership — a significant savings over the already reduced first-year family membership dues. 

Payment can be made in full at time of registration. To arrange payment in two installments (September and January) or in monthly installments please contact membership@orh.ca. Families may register at any time during the year and fees will be pro-rated based on remaining sessions. If you are not satisfied at any time, we will refund fees for the remainder of the program.

Machaneh Shabbat costs $1045 for the first child. We offer a discount of $50 off your second child, and an additional $50 off each additional child. No families will be turned away for financial hardship. To confidentially discuss financial aid or any other financial matters please contact membership@orh.ca.

If you want to try out a session or two, our suggested donation is $36 per session.
