Many of the leisure activities take place on the grounds of the village in inviting indoor and outdoor spaces: The village cafe, library, pool (summer time only), game rooms and computer rooms, club house, animal farm, crafts studios and more. The leisure/extracurricular activities begin at 2:30 pm and continue into the evening hours and on weekends and holidays.
Residents take advantage of resources in the neighboring towns, including weekly bowling outings, movie nights, and participate in local cultural festivals, sporting events, concerts and lectures happening in Kiryat Tivon and throughout the Jezreel Valley.
Every year many residents enjoy mini-vacations within Israel. Residents are divided into small groups, based on interests, abilities and personal preferences and travel within Israel for 2-3 day themed get-aways. Groups may go hiking, camping or touring but regardless, everyone enjoys the vacation from routine.
Leisure and extracurricular activities are supervised by the staff with the assistance of the volunteers
