JCC Maccabi Games Athlete Seeking Nice Jewish Host Family
in BOULDER!
During the 2010 Denver JCC Maccabi Games®, August 1-6,
2010
Due to the large number of athletes attending,
more Host families are needed. Boulder-area families are now being asked
to help host athletes! The best part is, you don't have to
drive to Denver every day! We are chartering a bus that will transport
the athletes to and from the Games!
It's easier than you think:
· Only one adult in the
home must be Jewish
· Neither religious practice nor observance of
kashrut is required
· You do not need to have kids in your home to
host visiting athletes
· There are only minimal transportation and meal requirements
Schedule
Sunday, August 1: Boulder Host Families pick up athletes at Denver
JCC in PM and take them to dinner in Denver. Drop them off at DU for
Opening Ceremony at 5:30 pm. Host families can be seated at that
time. After Ceremony, bring athletes home to sleep.
Monday - Thursday: August 2-5
Bus from Boulder (Location TBA)
leaving 6:30 am and returning 9:30 - 9:45 pm. You are responsible for
drop-off and pick-up.
Friday, August 6: Host families drop off
athletes in Denver at the Denver JCC. Drop off time will vary and is
dependent on the athletes delegation travel plans. Host families will
receive these details once athletes are assigned to their homes. We can
try to help with carpools Friday AM.

SAVE THE DATE for the JCC Maccabi Games
& ArtsFest 2011!
Don't let the excitement
from the Denver
Maccabi Games end. It's time to start thinking about JCC Maccabi Games
2011 in Israel. Imagine Olympic style athletic competition with teens
from around the world followed by a tour around Israel. Celebrate
Shabbat with Israeli families and so much more. If Arts are more your
thing, how about signing up for Maccabi ArtsFest in Israel next summer?
The
JCC Maccabi Games are a weeklong, international, athletic and cultural
event that has been uniting Jewish teens since 1982. It provides Jewish
youth with a supportive environment that fosters mutual respect and
sportsmanship, where they can interact in an atmosphere of fun,
democracy, and peace.
The
JCC Maccabi Artsfest is designed to
inspire Jewish teens through a dynamic combination of workshops,
performances, exhibitions, recognition of excellence, community service,
social activities and fun. We are looking for teens interested in
acting/improv, creative writing, dance, digital photography, film and
television production, jazz ensemble, musical theater, rock music,
visual art and vocal music.
The
JCC Maccabi Games in Israel will be
held from July 24 – Aug. 5, 2011; the games are open to Jewish teens
between the ages of 14 and 17. From July 24 -29, a traditional JCC
Maccabi Games and Artsfest week will occur; participants will travel
with tour guides and chaperones during the week of July 30 – Aug. 5.
Stay tuned; more details
TBA.
