We love to see our campers show their love for camp during the school year. This week on the blog, camper Evyn Gadd shares her poetry anthology about the impact of camp on her life, the friends that she made, and the feeling of community that she has while she is here.

Camp is a meaningful experience for everyone. Whether this summer will be you or your child’s first summer at camp or if you have been attending for years, our camp community grows every year, and the lives that are impacted grow with it. As a camper, your counselors help you to grow into a strong, unique, Jewish adult. As a counselor, you have the opportunity to teach the next generation, to help inspire them, shape them, and empower them to make a difference. Camp is a very special place, where young adults shine as role models, and generation to generation they make a difference in the lives of their campers.

Rabbi Andrew Terkel, URJ Greene Family Camp’s Director of Year Round Programs, shares a beautiful story about the parallels between Counting the Omer and counting down to camp.

At Greene Family Camp, there are so many activities to do during the day. From joining a soccer scrimmage, shooting off a rocket in STEAM, to making a glass mezuzah in art class, the options are endless. In addition to our typical chug (sport) and hagigah (art) activities, we also have plenty of adventure activities that make the Greene experience full of new opportunities!
