Beit Halochem Canada, Aid to Disabled Veterans of Israel, is excited to announce that in Summer 2015 we welcomed 38 bar and bat mitzvah aged Israeli children of disabled veterans from Beit Halochem Israel.
These children attended Camp New Moon, Shalom, Wahanowin, or Walden for a three-week session, during which Israeli and Canadian campers bonded—providing an invaluable experience for all. Peaceful, yet vibrant, the camp environment allowed the Israeli children to relax, away from the pressures of their lives at home.
In addition to their camp experience, our Israeli guests visited attractions in the Toronto and Niagara Falls areas. Everyone involved in this program, including the four disabled Israeli chaperones accompanying the children, were volunteers.
