We believe that seeing and experiencing Eretz Yisrael are integral elements of the Israel study experience. Every two weeks Tanach comes alive as we retrace the steps of our Avot and Imahot. Ma'ayanot’s overnight trips - one to the north and one to the south of the country - are big hits year after year. Experienced guides lead all excursions, illuminating the historical and geographical significance of each sight. Security guards and teachers also accompany every trip.

Our students tell us they receive more than they give from our organized Chesed program. Volunteer opportunities include working within a social service or communal framework, in a in a hospital, with disadvantaged or physically challenged children, organizing food packages in a soup kitchen or helping large families.

Ma'ayanot encourages physical recreational exercise. We offer classes in aerobics, kickboxing, karate and Israeli dancing.

Other special activities include music/choir and creative writing.
