According to Barbara
Vedder, learning disabilities
specialist for the program,
the camp gives the children
a chance to continue their
studies during the summer.
Mrs. Vedder said that two
of last summer's campers
were able to .attend regular
classes for a portion of their
school day this year. School
officials say these young-
sters are now functioning
capably in regular class-
rooms because of the assist-
ance they received at Silver-
man Village.
According to Marcus,
besides the special learn-
ing opportunities, the chil-
dren have nature hikes,
cookouts, swimming,
boating, canoeing, fishing,
arts and crafts, cabin liv-
ing and overnight trips.
An effort is also made to
provide an enriching Jewish
experience. Shabat morning
observances are conducted
in camp with programs
geared to the specific group
needs and desires, as well as
a Havdala service each Sat-
urday evening which in-
cludes spices, songs and
candles.
Camperships are avail-
able to those children whose
families are not able to meet
camp costs in full. For infor-
mation concerning the
learning disabilities pro-
gram at Silverman Village
or any of the other camping
program, contact the Fresh

Israelis Angry
Over Scandals
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Ac-
cording to a recent editorial
in Ha'aretz, the public is fed
up with the economic scan-
dals that have rocked the
country and with the rising
crime rate with which the
government seems power-
less.to cope.
The newspaper emphas-
izes that the present crisis is
not due to any failure of the
democratic process per se
but rather is the result of an
outmoded and bankrupt Is-
raeli political style.
