Szarvas Session Structure Update for 2026:

Szarvas Camp will continue to start on Sunday and will now end together for all units on Thursday in the early afternoon. Additionally, the middle Sunday will have unified programming for the entire Szarvas Camp community, rescheduling Visitors Day (for Hungarians) and Trip Day (for all other communities).

Restructuring the session days creates space for new ideas and possibilities—for Szarvas Camp and for all the communities that are part of it. It ensures that the session begins and ends as a shared camp experience and allows us to have Sunday as a program day for all the units.  Additionally, a Thursday closing allows everyone to return to their home countries before Shabbat without traveling at particularly challenging hours, and to use Thursday afternoon in a way that best serves their own communities, which may include a day trip to Budapest before traveling.
