Each Passover, we retell the story of leaving what confines us and moving toward freedom, belonging, and possibility. A parallel story comes alive each summer at GFC.
When our campers and staff drive through our gates, they step away from school pressures, labels, and routines, into a place where they are known, supported, and free to grow. Days are filled with friendship, challenge, laughter, and traditions that stay with them long after summer ends.
Passover reminds us that freedom is communal. We say “we were slaves” because transformation happens together. At GFC, that lesson is lived daily: in cabins that feel like family, Shabbat moments that ground us, and shared experiences that shape who our campers become.
Camp Day of Giving is coming up on May 7, and we invite our GFC families and alumni to be part of this ongoing journey. Your support helps ensure that future generations of campers can experience the magic of GFC. Whether you give, share our story, or help spread the word, your participation makes a meaningful difference.
As we move from the Passover table toward the summer season, I am grateful for our GFC community that continues to choose connection, growth, and joy. Thank you for being part of the GFC community today and for years to come.
Shabbat shalom,
Rabbi Erin
