ACCOMMODATION & HOST FAMILY

Host families are a unique part of Maccabi Carnival and contribute greatly to the overall experience of every participant. Host families help kids to make new friends and get to know other kids from different states. It is a valuable and positive part of the Carnival experience from which lifelong friends have been and continue to be made.

Maccabi’s Host Family policy is based on a fair and reasonable approach to accommodate all parties, children and parents from all visiting states as well as the host state.

Perth Participants

Being a host family to an interstate billet is a special part of being a participant in your home state and within the spirit of Maccabi Junior Carnivals. ALL Perth families taking part in Junior Carnival are expected to host at least two or more billets. Extenuating circumstances will be considered.
