Kids Camp Shabbat, Questions & Emergency Info
SHABBAT
Conveying a sense of Shabbat and community to the children is up to each of us. Our annual gathering is a wonderful opportunity to experience Shabbat as a truly inspiring and reinvigorating experience that is often different from Shabbat in our every day lives.
We welcome Shabbat as a community of parents and children at our special Shabbat Family Dinner. Please sign up during the week to participate in this dinner, which is especially helpful for families with younger children who can’t wait until the later dinner. We end the family dinner in time for the community-wide Kabbalat Shabbat gathering.
Shabbat morning begins with a fun, participatory Shabbat Family Service. Following that, we encourage children who would enjoy and participate in services to do so with their parents. There is also Shabbat Kids Camp for those not wanting to participate in services.
We ask parents and other members of the community to offer some time during Saturday morning. Volunteer contributions to the children’s Shabbat program make Shabbat at the Institute as pleasant and meaningful for the children as for the adults. If you can offer an activity for the children on Shabbat morning, please email NHCKidsCamp@gmail.com.

Camp staff are also members of our community and deserve to enjoy their “down time” with the rest of us. Office staff are available to receive and relay any concerns during office hours.
