As we celebrate Hanukkah, a festival of light, joy, and resilience, we are reminded of the bright smiles that fill our camp community each summer. The friendships formed at GFC last well beyond those sunny days, creating meaning through the winter months and far into the future. In a time when the world can feel heavy and uncertainty often overshadows hope, those moments of light matter more than ever.

Just as the shamash (helper) spreads light each night of Hanukkah, you can be the shamash for our campers. Your generosity helps ensure that, even in challenging times, Jewish youth have a place where they feel safe, celebrated, and connected. With your support, we ignite transformative experiences for campers – inspiring them to grow, thrive, and carry the torch of Jewish leadership forward.

Be the shamash – give the gift of camp here!

When you donate to GFC, you help create a space where young people feel truly seen – where they explore their Jewish identity, build confidence, and form friendships for life. As we close out our 50th year, thank you for helping to lay the foundation for the next 50 years so that every Jewish youth in Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond can continue to shine their light through the life-changing magic of camp.

Happy third night of Hanukkah from GFC!

L’Shalom,
The Greene Team
