:PM _ d Elizabeth Kirshner, age 12, Oak Park: I've been going to Camp Stone for four year and I love it because it provides a wonderful Jewish environment and an opportunity to make friends from all over — even Israel. The counselors are really nice, and it's a truly meaningful experi- ence. Your Premier CamP, Since 1969!

Max Jensen, age 16, Beverly Hills: Almost every summe, I attend [Habonim Droll Camp Tavor. The reason that I've kept returning since I was 11 years old is the people. I've made some of my best friends there. Everyone is nice to everyone else, there is little or no division into cliques, and there are no popularity contests. Everyone has an equal opportunity to build long-lasting relationships with other people, regardless of how popular they are at school.

Not because I dread Michigan winters or schoolwork, but because of Maplehurst, a traditional camp near Traverse City. The people there and the way that imagination is fostered are what I love most about camp. Everyone com- bines their creativity to develop an environment that is care free and fun. I have met some of my best friends here. Imagine being outside, trying new things, and meeting people from around the world. You won't believe it until you do it, but this could be the summer that changes your life. Tali Jensen, age 14, Beverly Hills: At Camp Tavor, everyone is your friend and you make tons of new friends. You have meaningful, spiritual Jewish moments like on Erev Shabbat. You stand and sing as the sun is setting and wish each other a Shabbat Shalom. You have a great time at Tavor. There's so much to do and you have a great variety of activities to choose from. We get to leave camp and go places. I like that because I like camp- ing and nature. 1190330 LIVING ENERGY EVENTS AND PRODUCTIONS MCs • Disc Jockeys • Dancers Lighting Systems • Event Production • Party Enhancements Max, Tali and Eli Jensen Eli Jensen, age 11, Beverly Hills: I like going to Camp Tavor because it's fun and we go camping. We meet new people from other states and Israel. The Hebrew lessons are well- taught. We have really good choices for chugim (special interest activities) like geo-caching. We had another chug where Tavor was part of the Underground Railroad. We went around and found stuff with metal detectors. We meet with the kids from our local area to get to know them better and plan to meet during the school year. The food is really, really good on Shabbat, especially the challah. The chicken is cooked perfectly. For additional submissions and photographs: JNonline.us . 42 December 7 • 2006 Hi
