NEWSWORTHY


Camp Wrap-Up

What a summer! With the "Mitzvah" theme, hundreds of campers spent the summer learning to be kind to animals, help those in need, and how to have a whole lot of fun! From ice cream trucks, color runs, petting zoos, shaving cream fights, to weekly field trips, rainy day lip sync battles and focuses on science, drama, music, Judaics, and Israeli culture, these kids made our summer so much fun with their energy and great attitudes! 

Thanks for a great summer 2017! We can't wait to see you back next year!
