But while the Judaic educational
program is getting more than its share
of primping for the upcoming sum-
mer, the athletic program is hardly
being neglected.
In the past two years, sports played
in the water and on dry land have
seen additions.
For example, golf classes, offered at
a local golf course, were added for
campers. Water sport aficionados saw
the addition of a large styrofoam log
On which children tried to balance.
Looking more like lumberjacks, the
campers last year spent hour upon
hour trying to break each other's
records for staying on the log the
longest.
This year, a newly expanded ropes
course and a new climbing tour, much
like those in popular sports bars and
area clubs, will be featured.
"Climbing is very big with the
teens and all of the kids like the ropes
courses," Finkelberg said.
The more generic education pro-
grams will also see a change with the
addition of a few new programs.
"This year we wanted to do more
with the arts and the sciences for the
children who may not be as athletical-
ly inclined," Finkelberg said.
Music lessons will debut, giving
campers the chance to sample several
instruments. Finkelberg said the
music program is to give a taste of
music to kids who may be daunted
by committing to more formal
lessons or to a school music program
because they aren't sure of their
interest.
"It's not going to be like
Interlochen," Finkelberg said, referring
to the music and arts camp in north-
ern Michigan. "It is going to give a
taste of music to kids who are interest-
ed in trying it out."
An astronomy course, complete
with a science teacher and night view-
ing of constellations, will also be
offered.
The camp directors are also plan-
ning on preparing the staff for the
year by sending the village and special-
ty supervisors to Israel for one week in
May. Other staffers will be sent to spe-
cialty training programs such as a
Jewish music seminar featuring
Debbie Friedman.
"We want to give the staff a
heightened sense of their own identi-
ty as Jews, which they will be able to
turn around and give to the kids,"
Shtull-Leber said. "We want them to
come back inspired for the new sea-
son."
