I
n the dead of Michigan's
bleak winter its tough to
start thinking about how to
best entertain and enrich the
lives of sandal-clad toddlers.
However, area temple and
synagogue nursery directors are
doing just that — firming up
plans for full and half-day sum-
mer camps.
The key appears to be
themes.
From Israel to the environ-
ment, weekly schedules are
made to focus on a specific idea
"We use the camp
as an opportunity
to root children
in their heritage
and culture,
to show we carry
our Jewishness
with us
everywhere,
throughout
the year."
Chaya Bergstein,
director of Camp Ganeinu,
Bais Chabad.
or topic through art work and
guest speakers. Outdoor play is
also essential.
At Congregation Adat
Shalom several programs are
being offered. Full and half-day
programs for campers 18
months to 3-years-old begin
June 20 and end Aug. 12. Hours
are 9:30 a.m. - noon for half-day
and 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. for full
day. Extended hours are avail-
able.
A mother-toddler program
for ages 17 months - 2 years and
Just For Me for 2 and 3-year-
olds runs from 10 a.m. - 11:30
a.m.
Themes included this sum-
mer are Winter Wonderland,
Hurrah for the Red, White and
Blue and Storybook Friends.
"Rather than going on field
trips, we bring the field trips to
us," said Dottie Levitsky, nurs-
ery director. "We've brought in
farm animals, artists and envi-
ronmentalists.
"We try to do as much of this
outdoors as possible. Kids are
curious about nature. It's a
great way to learn."
At Temple Emanu-El, flexi-
bility is a top priority.
Parents can pick and choose
full and half-day camp options,
extended hours and days of the
week.
Three, three-week sessions
are available. Dates have not
yet been decided.
Nature, art, music and Ju-
daism are emphasized.
"This isn't like our nursery
during the year. We learn about
Judaism in a more informal
way, through song, prayers and
storytellers. The campers are
always aware of where they are
though," said Rena Cohen, co-
director of the nursery school.
For the more traditionally in-
clined, Bais Chabad's Camp
Ganeinu offers options for chil-
dren ages 3-12.
From June 27 - July 29 a
kindercamp is available for
campers ages 3-5 at the Farm-
ington Hills location. The West
Bloomfield branch offers boys
and girls 6 and 7-years-old a
