RT Michigan held its eighth
annual Camp Hermelin
fundraiser on Sept. 18 when
Doreen Hermelin’s home in Bingham
Farms was transformed into “camp
grounds” with 12 camps and 15 activity-
based businesses running activities
throughout the day.
More than 800 people attended,
including kids, parents and grandpar-
ents. All were able to relive their camp
experiences and reconnect with camp
friends, staff and directors.
The Suburban Collection served as the
Presenting Sponsor, with 15 other corpo-
rate sponsors underwriting the event.
Event co-chairs Carole BenEzra,
Melissa Feldman and Shayna Levine and

their committee planned an afternoon
of fun-filled activities, including arts
and crafts, sports, dance, tug-of-war and
roasting s’mores.
Thirteen camps raffled off discounted
and free camp tuition for the summer
of 2017, and the Camper’s Choice Raffle
gave away $2,500 credit to be used
toward any day or overnight camp and/
or organized trip taking place during
2017.
Proceeds from Camp Hermelin will
benefit students of ORT’s Kfar Hassidim
Youth Village in Israel.
