During the summer vacation, MAKSAM and the Hadera Municipality operate a heavily-subsidized 3 week Summer Day Camp program for about 200 children, grades 1-6. Participation is open to all local children from disadvantaged families, many of whom would be unable to afford alternative summer activities.
The camp provides a secure environment with emphasis on enjoyable enrichment and leisure activities such as outings to parks, games facilities, and swimming pools. Children also have the opportunity to experience sports, arts and crafts, and theatrical performances. The camp’s enrichment activities include theme days such as Leadership, and Road Safety Day; while each year features Ethiopia Day that celebrates Ethiopian culture and traditions.
