Sending a HUGE thank you to all of our donors! You helped us meet our fundraising goal, which means we received matching funds from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, plus a bonus! All of those funds helped us get back to the Bubble, and now we’re looking forward to Summer 2022 🎉

Exceptional leadership has been — and continues to be — the hallmark of URJ Crane Lake Camp’s success.

We are thrilled to share that Debby Shriber will be transitioning to be the full-time Executive Director, Northeast Camps and Youth, and Efraim Yudewitz will become Crane Lake Camp’s new Director starting October 1, 2021.

Since September 2019, Debby has led Eisner and Crane Lake Camps as the Executive Director and has served as the Crane Lake Director. As we look to the future, we recognize the increasing responsibilities and opportunities that each role poses, and that the Executive Director and Crane Lake Director positions deserve their own full-time professional.

With this position change, Debby will remain very active at Crane Lake and during the summer she will be on the Eisner and Crane Lake grounds almost daily. You will continue to find her sitting on porches during rest hour, cheering on campers during Maccabia, and building lifelong relationships with the Crane Lake community.

While new to the URJ, Efraim has served the Northeast Jewish community for 15 years. Most recently, he spent seven years as the Director of Camp Tel Noar in New Hampshire, and previously held leadership positions at Gann Academy, Greater Boston’s independent Jewish high school. Efraim has a loving, warm personality that perfectly matches the Crane Lake community that Debby has so carefully cultivated.

Mazel tov to Debby! Baruch haba (welcome) to Efraim!

A Message from Debby:

As we finish cleaning up camp to prepare for the off-season, all I can say is thank you to everyone who made Summer 2021 a possibility.

Thank you to the campers who inspired us every day with their compassion, silliness, and flexitivity (here at CLC, that’s flexibility and positivity combined!).

Thank you to our staff, faculty, and leadership team who come into a world of uncertainty and embraced our philosophy of a Summer of Joy. Our campers were healthy and happy because of your hard work and dedication to our camp community.

Thank you to the parents who trusted us with their children. It’s been an honor to host your kids and has brought so much joy to a campground that was far too quiet for far too long.

Now, let the countdown to Summer 2022 begin!

Last Shabbat morning services in the Bubble. The oldest campers, Olim, are leading services and sharing with us how much camp means to them on this, their last full day as campers.

We're not crying, you're crying!😭

Last Kabbalat Shabbat in the Bubble! 😭😭😭

Luckily we have Nitzanim to lead our services and teach us about Ometz Lev (courage). Maybe their cuteness will distract us from our sadness that camp is almost over!
