Camp Nirkoda Ba’Kerem 2023
July 7, 2023 - July 10, 2023
$400 – $745
An Israeli dance camp and wine tasting adventure
Set in the relaxed landscape of California wine country, Nirkoda Ba’Kerem is all about community. Come join your friends — some you’ve known for years, and some you’ve yet to meet — for a fun-filled weekend of nonstop Israeli dancing. We’ll enjoy the benefits of California’s famous vineyards by incorporating a wine tasting adventure during the camp! Excellent wine and fantastic Israeli Dancing—what could be better?! Don’t miss it!
Dance Hall
We will be dancing in Field House, one of the gyms that makes up the Seawolves athletics complex. It has a large, sprung wood floor for comfortable dancing, and is located conveniently close to Beaujolais Village. Bring a water bottle so you can stay hydrated at the fill-up stations.
Food
The prices include all meals (Friday dinner to Monday lunch) and snacks. Meals are not kosher, but there are many vegetarian, meat-without-milk, fish, and other “kosher-style” options at the large buffet. SSU can accommodate most dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free), which you can indicate on the registration form.
Camp Events
Access to all Israeli dance and other camp activities (games, Shabbat services, etc.) is included.
Accommodations and Parking
Three nights lodging with linens provided. Free parking permit for 3 nights in the lot next to Beaujolais Village.
Wine Tasting
All levels include our signature wine tasting experience. Camp Nirkoda Ba’Kerem’s expert sommelier has chosen several excellent vintages for you to sample as our sommeliers help you to identify the subtle flavors of each wine. For those participants who do not drink, we will have a simultaneous fancy non-alcoholic beverage tasting. All dancers have the opportunity to evaluate their favorites and to enjoy the harmonious pairings.
