IT'S SNOW MUCH FUN!
We love winter, and our chanichimot (campers) do too. It’s our chance to lace up the skates, sip some hot chocolate, and bundle up together for fun in the sun in the snow.
Mosh Choref (Winter Camp) is both a perfect taste of Shomria for new campers and a boost of that mosh spirit for our returning campers counting down the days 'til summer. Even though it's only four days, it's jam-packed full of fun and opportunities to make meaningful memories and connections.

Details:
Transportation:
We strongly encourage all campers to take the bus to and from Winter Camp. Camp starts on the bus! If for some reason, you do not plan to take the camp bus to/from Winter Camp, please contact our office ASAP.
The Winter Camp bus will depart from and return to a location in North York. The exact location will be shared with registered families via e-mail.
Drop off on January 2nd is at 10:30am
Pick-up on January 5th will be between 3:30pm and 4:00pm.
If someone other than a parent/guardian is picking up your child you must let us know about this arrangement by email to [email protected] Please include the name, relationship to camper, and contact phone number of this person in writing.
Programming:
Winter Camp is a perfect opportunity for campers to enjoy a combination of active outdoor programs to connect with nature and get their bodies moving and quiet cozy indoor programs that allow them to decompress and relax during their school break.
We'll be going on trail walks, playing in the snow, doing arts and crafts, playing games, and experiencing the creative informal education that is the heart of Camp Shomria. Topics will range from Tikun Olam and social issues to music appreciation and drama games to promote creative self-expression. Campers will participate in kvutza (age cohort) activities, full mosh (all age) activities, and chugim (free choice activities).
Capacity:
Winter Camp can accommodate up to 40 campers. This winter adventure is perfect for campers who enjoy connecting in a smaller group setting and getting to spend time with both peers and youth a bit older and younger than themselves.
