What's Happening?
Summer Camps Israel (SCI) is working to establish overnight camps in Israel despite the ongoing conflict in Gaza and previous wars with Iran and Hezbollah. The initiative aims to provide a sense of belonging and fun for Israeli children affected by the conflict. SCI is offering funding to camps that run for at least nine nights and require campers to surrender their phones, focusing on creating a supportive environment for children.
Why It's Important?
The establishment of overnight camps in Israel provides a vital opportunity for children affected by conflict to experience normalcy and community. These camps offer a safe space for children to learn, play, and connect with others, helping to mitigate the psychological impact of war. The initiative highlights the importance of addressing the needs of children in conflict zones and supporting their mental health and well-being.
