SEEING THE NEEDS FOR EDUCATIONAL SUMMER CAMP FOR BOYS IN THE COMMUNITY LED US ON A MISSION TO CREATE ONE FOR LOWER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BOYS WHO DO NOT NEED MAJOR TRIPS, ARE UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE INTENSE ENVIRONMENT THAT GEARS TO OLDER ELEMENTARY BOYS, AND OFTEN GET SCARED AND FEEL IN THE SHADOW OF THE "BIG BOYS" DAY CAMPS.CBM (CAMP BNEI MELOCHIM) WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE A CALM, CREATIVE, SAFE ENVIRONMENT, SUITABLE TO BOYS AGES 5-10 YEARS OLD. THE CAMP CHOOSES EDUCATIONAL TOPICS THAT THE BOYS DO NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT DURING THEIR SCHOOL YEAR AND ELABORATES ON THEM IN AN EXCITING WAY THRU LESSONS, HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES, ARTS & CRAFTS, GAMES, LOCAL TRIPS, GUEST SPEAKERS AND MORE.AN OFFICIAL TARGETED HANDS-ON CURRICULUM HAS BEEN WRITTEN FOR THE TEACHERS AND COUNSELORS. IT IS VERY HIGH QUALITY AND CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE TO OTHER COMMUNITIES, SCHOOLS AND CAMPS.THE CAMP PUBLISHED A BOOKLET WITH SETS OF CARD THAT THE BOYS COLLECT TEN WEEKS PRIOR TO CAMP (IT'S MAILED TO THEIR HOME AT NO CHARGE) SO THAT THE LEARNING BEGINS WEEKS BEFORE THE CAMP STARTS.THE BOYS BECOME ENGAGED IN THE ACTIVITIES AND DO NOT EVEN NOTICE HOW MUCH THEY LEARN WITH THIS UNOFFICIAL LESSON. AT THE END OF THE CAMP SEASON, THE BOYS AND THEIR PARENTS ARE INVITED TO A "BEE" TO SHOW OFF THEIR LEARNING AND BE TESTED PUBLICLY ON IT, WITH PRIZES AWARDED AND SERVING AS A GRAND CLOSURE FOR CAMP IN AN EDUCATIONAL YET FUN ENVIRONMENT.
