Throughout the years, our Messianic Jewish Studies Program has been growing. We now offer a six-week program teaching various Bible topics and courses from a Messianic Jewish Perspective. There is a two week curriculum followed by a three week curriculum, followed by a one week course of the Life of Messiah from a Jewish Perspective.

You may attend for one to six weeks depending on your schedule. Students are encouraged to attend all six weeks of the program if their schedule allows.

THE PROGRAM BREAKDOWNArrival on grounds is Saturday after 2PM until Sun 5 PM. Classes start Monday morning and end Friday evening.During the first two weeks, the program will run four hours per day. During the remaining four weeks, the program will run five hours per day. The structure of the program will include four classes, each an hour long per day for both two and three week programs. The three week program has a required fifth session for first-time attendees: The Survey of the Life of Messiah, which runs for 75 minutes each day. The sixth week program will also run for five hours a day giving a complete detailed study of Messiah's life.

We have designed our schedule for the maximum teaching time during the day, while allowing ample time for fun and fellowship. The afternoons and weekends allow plenty of free

time for worship, fellowship, hiking, and recreation at Trout Pond, as well as various other activities located nearby.

Each Friday evening we have a special Shabbat service and dinner. Saturday is a free day for students who will continue their study and a departure day for those who are leaving. On Sunday mornings, we gather for a time of worship led by Ariel staff members and students. If you play a musical instrument, please bring it along to share with us. Saturday and Sunday evenings are reserved for lakeside cookouts with music, dance, and fellowship.

CHILDREN AND YOUTH:The youth program at Ariel Ministries’ Camp Shoshanah emphasizes serious biblical educa-tion for children. Our Children’s Program has four classes a day, and is divided into three age groups: infants & toddlers (0-6), middlers (7-11), and teenagers (12-17). In order to facilitate dialogue about biblical topics between parents and children, the courses of the Children’s Program often mirrors the adult program, with slight variations. However, during the sixth week, the Children’s Program does not focus exclusively on the Life of Messiah course. In addition, we run a great recreational program, permitting the kids to enjoy the outdoors of the Adirondacks, during one class period. In the afternoons (between lunch and dinner), there is no active Children’s Program. Children under the age of 16 will be required to
