Every week Crane Lake Camp introduces a Jewish value of the week for campers and staff to think about in their everyday camp lives. We discuss and teach how the Jewish value of the week relates to many different areas on camp. This week’s Jewish value is bitachon or confidence. We do many things here at CLC that demonstrate bitachon, so we asked campers and counselors how they show confidence at camp.

Marissa G., Bunk Mountain View East- I show confidence by being who I am and not shutting myself down. I don’t try to hide myself.

Ben S., Bunk 24- I spontaneously dance!

Stacey R. & Shosh S., Bunk Mountain View West- Since we are in Olim, we try to be strong leaders on camp.

Leah H., Bunk 5- I always try to play my best.

Camille G., Bunk 14- I’m friendly and outgoing.

Isaac Z., Bunk 23- I show confidence by being loud.

Jemma B., Bunk 5- If someone is sad I will cheer them up.

Noah S., Bunk 22- I am trying new things at camp such as playing more sports.

Jenna R., General Counselor- I show confidence by rocking the fanny pack.

Matt L., General Counselor- I believe it is important to practice what you preach. I think confidence is standing up for what you say. I show confidence by doing what I say I will do.
