As you may already know, this summer we are celebrating our 18th summer as a Union for Reform Judaism camp. To honor to this particular summer, the Cornerstone Fellows, 3rd year counselors, had each bunk create a list of 18 things they love about URJ Crane Lake Camp. Each bunk’s list was then shown on the screens in the Chadar Ochel during meals. Campers enjoyed comparing and contrasting their responses with other bunks answers. After each bunk submitted their list, the Cornerstone Fellows created a master list of the top 18 things everyone loves about Crane Lake. We would like to share this list with you!
