among the participants.
The second evening we joined
together to discuss Michigan's
economy, job security and career
planning, facilitated by Walt
Tarrow of Jewish Vocational
Services (JVS). The revelations
that occurred during this discus-
sion were fascinating. We learned
rapidly that many people felt a
lack of job security, despite their
education, training and job his-
tory. It became clearer that there
is a profound need to continually
plan for career changes. We also

acknowledged that regardless
of income or educational back-
ground, we shared concerns about
our children's opportunities and
financial future.
The weekend was important
on many levels. It provided
the means for our children to
meet neighbors that they would
typically not have met. It created
avenues to shatter myths and
stereotypes, to teach our children
by example and experience and to
embrace and celebrate diversity.
The children, too, taught
the parents. They became fast
friends without hesitation. Eddie
Gonzales, 13, was pleased to
have been a part of the family
camp opportunity. "I liked it a lot
because we got to meet other
families. It was good because it
helped us connect and communi-
cate with others."
At this camp there were no
dividing lines. There was just shar-
ing, openness and connection. As
our daughter Rachel summed it
up, "the sense of community was
good here." II
