We are thrilled to share that Rachel Anszelowicz and Emily Waldman will begin this summer as Assistant Director of Staff Recruitment and Engagement and Assistant Director of Alumni and Year-Round Engagement, respectively!

Rachel will be joining the Crane Lake team after spending the last two years as the Mental Health, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Fellow at Foundation for Jewish Camp. Rachel has spent the past ten summers working at NJY Camps, and we are so excited for her to bring her enthusiasm, curiosity, and creativity with her to West Stockbridge.

Emily, better known at CLC as Waldo, will be joining the full-time team after spending the last 17 summers at Crane Lake. Waldo is a former camper, counselor, Unit Head, and most recently Programming Director, and has just completed her Masters in Social Work at the University of Michigan. We can’t wait for Waldo to translate the thoughtfulness and excitement that she brings to our summer programming to programming throughout the year.

Efraim, Ali, Alyson, Barnett, and Sarah are so excited to work with these amazing individuals. Please join us in welcoming them to the year-round CLC family!

A Message from Rachel
I am so excited to be joining the team at URJ Crane Lake Camp! I have spent the last 17 summers at Jewish camp which taught me about being a part of a community that encourages individuals to connect, learn, grow and have fun along the way. I am honored to join such a caring and enthusiastic camp community and I look forward to hearing more about all of the wonderful activities, events and traditions that make CLC so special. I can't wait to meet everyone at camp this summer and I look forward to making more exciting memories together!
