camps
Fun for all
From illness to joy
Zichron Menachem’s camps and retreats offer children with cancer a chance to recharge their physical and emotional batteries, and escape the challenges and worries they face during treatment. Our camps are more than a fun getaway. Away from home, the children – some of whom are taken straight from the hospital to camp – can fully relax and forget about their illness, while bonding with other kids in a similar situation.
Accompanied by a full medical team, the children’s physical and emotional needs are catered for, from blood tests and their regular medications to psychological support. Campers return home with increased confidence and a renewed determination to fight their illness.

Back to normality
When someone in the family is sick, the entire family is affected. The physical and emotional intensity, together with long periods of treatment, can take a toll on everyone. When parents entrust their children to us, and our skilled medical teams, they get a long-awaited opportunity to unwind.
Seasonal camps
Seasonal camps
A much-needed break
We run three holiday camps a year – in the winter, spring and summer – so it’s never too long before kids with cancer and their siblings can return to days of fun and nights of laughter. These camps give kids a break from anxiety and reinforce a sense of optimism for the future.

Awakening their thirst for life
Cancer patients often feel they have lost themselves, their personality and their dignity while they go through treatment. They sometimes even lose the will to live. With activities from morning until night, along with adventures, parties, singing and more, our camps awaken their senses and give them back their thirst for life.

Healing for the soul
When kids get a chance to be with others in a similar situation they are able to support each other. Mental health professionals are on hand for one-to-one sessions as well as group therapy.

"For me, it's a great gift to be part of this brave group, and to be a small link in a chain that makes children happy. Fate has been cruel to them at this stage in their lives.”
