About Our Camp Counselors Our camp counselors are carefully selected, trained and placed to create the most effective camp team. Camp staff receive extensive training in sensitivity awareness, safety precautions, designing age-appropriate activities, child development, conflict resolution, appropriate discipline, team building and first aid. A high staff-to-camper ratio allows for the providing of more individualized attention. A large percentage of our counselors return each summer to re-experience the magic of camp. Project Challah As a service to our families we sell Kosher challahs for Shabbat. The challahs are distributed on Friday afternoons. See camp application for price. General Information
Host an Israeli Shaliach Families are needed to host our 2008 Shlichim. These talented staff members have been selected to work as specialists at our camp. Throughout the summer, they teach our campers about the history and culture of Israel through stories, games, sons, dances and crafts. Campers and host families form life-long friendships with our Shlichim. If you would like to invite one of the Shlichim to live with you for a 2 - 4 week period during the summer, please contact Laura Gotlin at 718-475-5267
