Camp Or L’Dor Esh Chadash
New Fire for the next generation
Apply for the Esh Chadash Program for Camp 2025!
Our name Camp Or L’Dor loosely translates to bringing light to the next generation. Our vision is to inspire a new generation of Messianic Jewish leaders who are passionate about building an intergenerational Messianic Jewish community.
Leadership is the ability to invest in, inspire and motivate others to become their best selves. In our new Esh Chadash program we equip young people to be leaders in every area of life, from leading in family life and among friends to school and work. We also hope to invest in our future leaders at Camp Or L’dor and in our wider Messianic Jewish movement. Some young people may one day feel called to become Rabbis, cantors and lay leaders within our growing Messianic Jewish community.
What’s New?
For many years we have run our Leadership Teen (LT) program as a part of camp for our 18 and 19 year old campers. This year, we are revamping our LT program so that we can create an even better leadership experience for our older campers.
1. We have a new name! The new name is אש חדש or Esh Chadash. Esh Chadash means new fire! Teens in our Esh Chadash program will be called להבות or lehavot which means flames. (Individuals are called להבה or lehava in the singular)
Our Esh Chadash program is designed to inspire and equip you to find your place as a leader in our Messianic Jewish community.
2. We’ve changed the age: As we’ve thought deeply about emphasizing leadership at Or L’Dor we’ve decided to formally change the age for eligibility to our new Esh Chadash program from 18-19 to 17-19.
3. Lehavot need to apply: In the past campers who reached LT age were in the LT program automatically. This year we are going to try out an application process. We feel that it is important that campers have a desire to be part of the Esh Chadash team and are ready to engage as young leaders.
*Please note that if you are 17 or 18 years old it may be possible for you to attend camp as a camper and not be in the Esh Chadash program. If being a Lehavot is not something you are interested in, please let us know. Otherwise, complete the application below and we’ll be in touch!
