Join us tomorrow morning for a special Shabbat send off and blessing for those headed to camp this summer as campers or staff, and the parents who support them.
BLOG: My Home Away From Home
By: Kim Fluxgold
There is something truly special about overnight camp. It becomes so much more than a place to spend the summer - it becomes a second home where lifelong friendships are formed, confidence grows, independence takes shape, and memories last a lifetime.
All three of my children were fortunate enough to attend the same camp that meant so much to me growing up. Watching them walk the same paths, embrace the same traditions, and eventually become leaders themselves was incredibly meaningful to witness.
Camp teaches so much more than sports, campfires, and bunk life. It builds confidence, leadership, resilience, compassion, and a sense of belonging. It helps children discover strengths they never knew they had and reminds them that they are capable of more than they imagine.
Long after the duffels are unpacked and summer comes to an end, the friendships, lessons, laughter, and memories remain woven into who they are.
For so many of us, camp was never just a place we went.
It was home. ❤️
