Camp Olami: The Adventure of a Lifetime
World Bnei Akiva is proud to present Camp Olami: our values-driven high-adventure summer camp, powered by the incredible success of Machane Sayarim.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience takes place in the stunning mountains of Europe, designed specifically for Jewish teens after grades 6-10 (Ages 12-16) from Israel, Europe, and around the globe.
True to the finest Bnei Akiva tradition, the heart of our journey lies in education. We believe values are learned better through experience than in a classroom. In addition to the sports and adventure, Chanichim experience uplifting Shabbatot full of song and ruach, powerful peulot, and kumzitzes that stretch into the night under the stars.
In the authentic Bnei Akiva spirit, we celebrate Israel, Zionism, and leadership, creating a high-energy community where our shared heritage truly comes to life.
