The below named applicant is applying for Madatz, a seven-week counselor training program at Habonim Dror Camp Galil. The program focuses on “hands-on” training in the field of experiential education, social justice activism and community organizing, child-care, group dynamics and development. The participants will channel their experiences and knowledge of Judaism, Labor Zionism, and community building into planned activities and programs for 9-15 year old campers.
Participants will gain an understanding of the challenges and methodology of experiential education by working with senior counselors and through leading a diverse array of genuinely youth-lead summer programs. The Madatz group is encouraged to function as a cohesive unit by electing committees to look after their group needs. Participants will develop as an independent group by focusing on communication and leadership skill within their own group framework. They
will participate in self-governing committees dealing with issues such as group dynamics and finances.
Activities will include planning and implementing educational and social programs, as
well as participating in group discussions, sports, hiking, physical work, and other camp
activities.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
