The school year ends
For too many of our girls,
so does everything else.
Every Bais Yaakov girl should have somewhere to belong, something meaningful to do, and come back to school healthy and motivated.

We can’t afford to wait for someone to fill the vacuum.
Numbers don’t tell the whole story.
But they’re a good place to start.

I can’t believe how much fun and enjoyment we can have while still having deep tochen. I come home every day with a smile from ear to ear that spreads to everyone around me and lasts till the next morning! Please just make it longer and bigger so that all my friends can join!

I have no words to tell you how much I appreciate camp for my daughter. She finally spent a productive summer filled with nachas and simcha and joy-filled days. I hope you can feel my mother’s heart talking!

The smile on my face and in my heart are going to make my whole year different. The friends I made are already making my life so much better and the things I learned that I can do are empowering me forever.

For the first time there is a place where we can come and be a real partner, to be active, to do, to lead, to express, to build. Camp allowed me to express who I am

Creating a model that communities can copy/paste.
We turn the long, empty months from lost time and danger zones into a safe and fun framework.
Programs and camps run within each community, led by the teens themselves.
Community Playbook
Every community gets the tools to launch its own program — independent, tailored, and built entirely from within.
Teen Ownership:
The program is given to the teens to build, budget, and run. They don’t attend. They ideate, create and lead.
Family First:
Parent conferences that help mothers understand the challenge, connect with each other, and become a driving force in their daughters’ lives.
Local Roots:
Partnerships with local authorities that ensure the model reaches further — and lays the groundwork for self-funding in the future.
Olot is a proven model, two summers in.
Shaindy Babad has spent her career building things that didn't exist yet and proving they should.
As CEO of Temech for 11 years, she created professional and entrepreneurship tracks for over 25,000 Charedi women in Israel.
She founded The Kemach Foundation's employment arm, helping shift an entire community's relationship with the workforce.
Born in the US, based in Israel, she knows both worlds and knows how to get them talking to each other.
Olot grew out of what she kept seeing up close: teenage girls with over two months empty, no framework, and a growing list of bad options filling the gap.
She built a model that puts the tools in the hands of the communities and the ownership in the hands of the teens — and she's spent two summers proving it works.
