Shabbat at Camp
On Friday evenings we welcome Shabbat with our Shabbat dinner, homemade Micah challah and chicken soup. The meal is followed by a spirited song session which leads into Erev Shabbat Services at the Rabbi Goldstein Chapel On The Hill overlooking the mountains and lake led by our campers and staff. During the summer, Rabbi Emily Gopen Lipof teaches us by taking life lessons and turning them into unique and entertaining stories. Following services, is a special Oneg Shabbat dessert. If you can believe it, Micah campers actually say that they look forward to our fun, unique Shabbat experience all week long!

Saturdays are always special: in the mornings we enjoy a late breakfast, and then begin our Shabbat morning activities. During these activities, campers have many opportunities to learn about Tikkun Olam, (repair of our world), and to use what they learn in our camp community and beyond. The activities are geared towards offerings that will help campers better themselves and/or the world. Some of these include optional Shabbat services or other exciting activities such as hikes, yoga, Judaic art, Israeli dancing and an array of social action opportunities.

Afternoons bring all-camp activities such as The Gold Rush, The Amazing Race, Israel Day, etc. followed by a cook-out dinner and brief Havdallah service at our Chapel On The Hill overlooking the mountains and lake. Included in Camp Micah’s philosophy is the understanding of our collective responsibility to make the world a better place for all people.
