WHAT IS CAMP SHANA TOVA (CST)?
Our goal is to provide meaningful opportunities to engage children in age-appropriate tefillah and learning over the High Holidays. We also hope this programming supports your ability to have a meaningful tefillah experience in shul. Kids aged 12 months through 5th grade are eligible for CST: babysitting is available for children ages 1-5 only.
If you have an older tween or teen who is interested in working or volunteering to help out at Camp Shana Tova, please email Sara Morris at programs@asbi.org.

*If the cost of CST presents a difficulty for your family, please email Hayley at hayley@asbi.org to work out alternative arrangements.
VOLUNTEERING
It takes a village to make CST happen, so we ask that each family volunteers for at least one shift over the course of the holidays. Volunteering at CST is a wonderful way to engage with the vibrant children of our community and also keep the cost down for everyone. Please sign up for at least 1 volunteer slot per holiday your kids are attending when you register.
TOT PROGRAMMING
Tot Rosh Hashanah and Tot Yom Kippur (the holiday version of our weekly Tot Shabbat) will be available for children ages 3 and under from 10:00 - 10:40 AM on September 23 & 24, and 9:30 - 10:10 AM on October 2. Tot services are free of charge and do not require registration, however all children participating MUST be accompanied by an adult.
