Israelis Come To Tamarack

Thanks to strong community support
and close ties between hundreds of
families and friends here and in Israel,
the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit and Fresh Air Society are part-
nering to welcome 106 young people
from Israel to Camp Tamarack this
summer.
Initially established through the
Federation's Israel Emergency
Campaign to provide Israeli youth a
Michigan camping experience and safe
haven during the height of terrorist
activity in Israel, the program now
enjoys success as a cultural exchange
and a means of building ties between

Michigan and Israel.
Campers and madrichim (coun-
selors) range in ages from 12 to 17
years old and include young people
from Detroit's Partnership 2000 region
in the Central Galilee and the Israeli
Scouts Movement. The group will
attend two camp sessions from July 15
through Aug. 14. Additionally, local
families will host campers in their
homes during the weekends of July 15-
17 and Aug. 11-14. Events scheduled
for campers and their host families
include a Detroit Tigers game at
Comerica Park, made possible through
the support of corporate partner
Caribou Coffee.
"Camp Tamarack is all about build-

ing lifelong memories and lasting rela-
tionships," stated Steve Goodman,
chair of Federation's 2005 Israeli
Camper Program. "No community
does what Detroit has done in provid-
ing this rare opportunity to connect
with our brothers and sisters in Israel."

"I was lonely at home; I missed laughter. My move to The Park at Trowbridge

was a wonderful experience. The entire community is warm and gracious,

and I was welcomed like royalty. I like everything about The Park at

Trowbridge the wonderful staff, food, transportation, entertainment,
friends and neighbors. And now I can choose to be by myself or

surrounded by friends. I've never had it so good."
