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 located at the beautiful Wonder Valley. 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?!

Meals are kosher-style (no pork\, no mixed meat / milk\, no shellfish). The camp can accommodate most dietary requirements (vegetarian\, vegan\, lactose-free). For those requiring certified kosher meals\, that can be arranged for a surcharge. Ask the registration team about kosher menus and pricing. \nEvents\nAccess to all Israeli dance and other camp activities (games\, Shabbat services\, etc.) is included. \nAccommodations\nWe also include linens\, daily towel exchange\, and hotel-like amenities (soap\, shampoo). For those in the hotels\, there is also a Keurig and mini-fridge. \nWine Tasting\nAll levels include our signature wine tasting experience. Camp Nirkoda Ba’Kerem’s wine experts have chosen several local vintages for you to sample as our sommelier helps 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 hors d’oeuvres selected for their harmonious pairing with the wines. \nMeet the Staff\nMichael Barzelai has created some of the most popular dances in the last couple of years — Normali\, Aneni\, Resisim\, Be’chayai\, Yahalomim\, Shneinu\, La Trompeta\, Ha’or Min Heharim\, and many others. Despite being only 30\, Michael has a vast repertoire\, both new and old\, Ashkenazi and Mizrachi\, popular and obscure. Beyond his fantastic choreography and dancing\, he’s just incredibly friendly and boundlessly energetic\, and we are so excited that he will be part of our Ba’Kerem community this year! \nYaron Elfasy is the choreographer of dances including Mor Ve’Kinamon\, Eich Efshar Shelo\, Ohev Lihiyot Ba’bayit\, and Kanfe Ha’ruach. He can do it all: circles\, partners\, and yes\, lines! He spends the summers teaching dance to the kids at Camp Szarvas in Hungary\, always with a big smile and tons of ruach. Yaron is part of an Israeli dance dynasty; his four children are all dancers\, and his father was the legendary Moti Elfasy\, creator of El Ha’derech\, Al Kanfe Ha’kesev\, Lo Na’atzor\, and more. \nLatishya Steele returns as our Mistress of the Computer\, our Granter of Requests\, our Voice Upon the Microphone — in other words\, our incomparable DJ. She will keep you on your feet all night long — and well into the morning! Latishya started her dancing career in Boston and Chicago\, and she is now one of the Bay Area’s favorite teachers and programmers\, with an incredibly deep repertoire and a talent for keeping the party going. \nAaron Alpert is your camp director and host for the weekend. His main job is to ensure that you’re having an awesome time! He’s been teaching\, running sessions\, and organizing workshops in the Bay Area for 12 years. Along with Latishya\, he runs Nirkoda Le’Chayim every Thursday in Palo Alto. Let him know if there’s anything that can make your camp experience better. \nAccommodations\n\n\nHousing Level\nRegular\n\n\nStudent (details)      Up to age 25\, in dorms of up to 10 people (same sex)\, individuals only\n$360\n\n\nDorm (details)      Up to 10 people (same sex)\, dorm style bathroom\, individuals only\n$450\n\n\nBasic Hotel — double (details)      Two people\, private bath\, individuals or two couples with prior arrangement\, slightly older and smaller than the Deluxe Hotel\n$630\n\n\nDeluxe Hotel — quad (details)      Four people\, private bath\, individuals or two couples with prior arrangement\, recently remodeled\, beautifully appointed with modern furniture\n$570\n\n\nDeluxe Hotel — double (details)      Two people\, private bath\, individuals or couples\, recently remodeled\, beautifully appointed with modern furniture\n$680\n\n\nRead more… \nRegistration\nRegister \nAll participants must provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination in order to attend.
