Year Round Programs
Camp Galil is just one aspect of the Galil community. Chanichim (campers) can continue to have fun with their friends through our year-round activities in Eizor Galil (the Galil region).
Check out the fun so far this year!
Eizor Galil provides structured activities for Jewish youth around the Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey area. Events range from the annual Fall and Spring Seminars in which chanichim and their friends descend on the campsite for a weekend of fun to smaller shichvah (age group) specific activities on Sunday afternoons.
All events are created and run by the talented tzevet (staff) of Eizor Galil and the madrichim (counselors) who work with them. Madrichim are either seniors in high school or college students and/or graduates in the area.

STAFF
Our Eizor program is coordinated by the Eizor Galil mazkirut. The mazkirut is made up of our year-round shlicha and the roshei eizor.
Shlicha (Israel Emissary)
Ronit Cohen was born in Israel, growing up in Mazkeret Batya (Moshava on the way to Jerusalem). Since she was 10 years old Ronit was a member, and later on a youth leader, in Hanoar ha’oved v’halomed (Habonim Dror’s sister movement in Israel). At the age of 18 she was sent by the movement to do a year of service in Kiryat Tiv’on (suburb near Haifa) and was responsible for all movement activities there. She joined the Army in the Karakal unit ( a unit that combines boys and girls fighting together), which was a challenging and interesting service. After the second Lebanon war she worked with youth with traumas in the North. Upon her release from the army, Ronit learned sign language and began to volunteer in “Shema” center in Tel Aviv. Ronit has a lot of experience in informal education in Israel, and looks forward to sharing that experience with the Galil community.

Nora Chong, the other Philadelphia native on the Mazkirut, attended Workshop 57, and is now a sophomore at Bryn Mawr College. Nora spent this past summer working with the Sayarim (the current 7th graders) at Galil.
Finally, Josh Marantz spent 3 years at Camp Galil (in addition to one that he spent on MBI, Habonim's Israel summer program) before leaving after madatz to go work at Na'aleh in the summers of '07, '08, and '09. He attended Workshop 57 with Nora, where the two lived in the same kvutza in the Israeli-Arab city of Akko. Josh is a sophomore this year at Drexel University as an engineering student, and enjoys doing Israeli Folk Dancing whenever he has a free weeknight.
