Summer Camps Offer
Lots Of Summer Fun
As parents you have prob-
ably already given some
thoughts to your family's
summer plans. Summer
camps play a vital part in
these plans. Camp is built
around the needs and
interests of children. It is
a place to meet new
friends, learn new activi-
ties and have fun.
For over 40 years, the
American Camping Asso-
ciation, a national organi-
zation dedicated to provid-
ing quality camping expe-
riences, has sponsored a
voluntary accreditation
program.
All ACA accredited
camps have been evaluat-
ed at least every three
years by an outside team
of camping professionals.
These camps have been
certified and offer well-
staffed, pleasant environ-
ments, quality programs,
knowledgeable and experi-
enced personnel and meet
specific standards of
health and safety provided
by the ACA. Parents may
choose from among a wide
variety of programs rang-
ing from a general camp-
ing experience to ones
which specialize in partic-
ular activities such as
sports or drama.
Camping is a very rea-
sonably priced child-care
option. For many parents
day camping qualifies as a
deductible child-care
expense as well. 0

Fact is, more Americans
may die by the fork than by
any other weapon. That's
because so many of them
use it irresponsibly. Like
to fill up on high-fat, high-
cholesterol foods. Foods
that can load the blood with
cholesterol, which can build
up plaque in their arteries,
increasing their risk of
heart attacks and threaten-
ing their lives. So next time
you pick up a fork, remem-
ber to handle it as you
would any other weapon.
For self-defense, not
self-destruction.

number seven opened
outside of Moscow in
June 1992!
I'm very proud that the
Michigan members of the
board undertook the first
major fund-raising pro-
ject for Camp Ramah in
Canada. Last winter we
successfully raised funds
from Michigan Ramah
families - past campers
as well as present and
future ones, too - and we
built a new basketball
court. Through the suc-
cess and speed of our
fund-raising project.,
Ramah Canada is now
organizing fund-raising
projects in other
American cities that fun-
nel into camp.
It is former campers
and people dedicated to
the philosophy of Camp
Ramah that strengthen
the commitment to
Jewish camp life. It is
heartwarming to talk to
people of all ages whose
lives have been impacted
by their Ramah experi-
ences. So many present
campers' parents have
been Ramahniks. The
feeling of Ramah, the
ruach, the sense of reli-
gious community, and,
most of all, the sense of
sharing something so
special is what Camp
Ramah sends home with
its campers. That feeling
has stayed with me all
these years and I love
that I have that feeling
always with me. ❑

still a central part of the
Ramah program but the
change that is reflective
of the times is that
women participate in
ways we could not in the
1960s. My daughter can
read Torah at camp; we
could not. In the '60s, a
camper went for eight
weeks — now, campers
can attend either first or
second session for four
weeks through 8th
grade, as well as choos-
ing all summer.
In the olden days, the
entire camp davened
together in the building
that is now the arts and
crafts/woodworking
building. Today, there
are seven different ser-
vices you can attend
depending on your per-
sonal preference. Hebrew
is still spoken, but not to
the same degree as in
the '60s. Classes still
meet under the trees but
in the '90s, your class
could meet in the well-
filled library that wasn't
even a glint in anyone's
eye in the '60s.
Camp Ramah is really
more than just summer
camp. It is a camping
movement whose philos-
ophy of combining educa-
tion, camping and reli-
gious life in a Hebrew
speaking environment
has proved to be very
successful over five
decades. Camp Ramah is
really six different camp
locations in the Untied
States and Canada and
