Some context

To give some background for those that don’t know, for decades NFTY STR operated with Temple ran home-hospitality Kallot. This was an integral part of the success of our region and left a huge impact on our teens (and our hosting families)

We are trying everything we can to bring teens back to Kallot and while this may seem a bit “out there”, this will be one of the best parts for our teens

Registration is open. Early bird registration is $25 off until September 20th  

Registration is through Coleman’s Campminder system.
