CLC Welcomes New Campers
First time campers spent a wonderful afternoon at camp for New Camper Orientation Day on Sunday, June 5th, 2011. More than 100 first time campers and their families had the opportunity to tour camp, make new friends, meet some of our great staff members and learn much more about what camp will be like.
Notes from the Director: Debby Shriber
What a whirlwind winter we have had! You may think a camp director works hard in the summer, but the off-season is really just as busy.
A Look Back at NFTY Convention 2011
From the time I exit through the red gates at the end of a summer to the time that I re-enter the bubble, I have serious withdrawal, every day wishing that I was up high in the Berkshires looking out over the hills.
Shabbat Around the World
After camp ends each summer, I always wonder how I will be able to get through Friday nights without being surrounded by a wonderful camp community worshiping together in the Outdoor Sanctuary under a beautiful sunset. No Friday night Shabbat worship experience can ever compare to those that we all have at camp.
A New Summer Experience:Camp Chazak
Two things that I am passionate about are camp and special education. Before coming to work for Eisner, I worked for five years as a special education teacher. Day in and day out, I would try and come up with creative new ways for my students to learn. More than anything, I wanted my students to be able to connect with the material and not just memorize it.
Crane Lake’s Got New Cabins!!
As you drive onto camp opening day, after you have checked in, you will see the landscape of camp has further been enhanced by the addition of 6 new camper cabins. All winter long our construction crew has been working hard to make sure that these buildings would be completed on time.
Camp gives kids confidence
For those of us with first-hand experience of the value added from summer camp experiences, a recent study from the Foundation for Jewish Camp only reinforces what we’ve long known: Jewish summer camp not only works, but lays the groundwork for a more vibrant Jewish future.
Summer 2011 is just around the corner
