it just gives you a bigger, more
detailed picture.”
Hazon said it’s through
those personal connections at
Tamarack that she’s made best
friends for life.
“That’s the biggest impact,
having Jewish-American
people here and having best
friends from Israel and keeping
in touch with them — that’s the
best thing there could be.”
Hazon, 22, was a Tamarack
camper one time in 2012. This
summer was her first time back
after nine years.
“The summer I was here
as a 13-year-old completely
changed my life. I know so
many things I did in life were
because I came here, and I
wouldn’t be where I am in life
right now if I wasn’t in camp.”
Hazon, who won the coun-
selor of the year award this
summer as elected by her
peers, plans on coming back
next summer, hopefully with
Israeli campers.
“Every one of us had a com-
pletely different experience at
camp, but I think everyone will
remember this summer for
their entire life,
” Hazon said.
“I hope everyone felt like I did
here, because this is a place that
makes you feel 100% who you
are.
”
Included in Israeli’s staff’s
training before they arrive is
how they can bring their story
in Israel and implement it in
camp. Weinstock herself had
a connection to Israeli’s staff’s
impact this summer.
“My son had an Israeli
counselor who he developed a
really nice relationship with,”
Weinstock said. “To have con-
versations with my son about
Israel — he’s in fourth grade —
it’s just really nice.”
Israel Day, a day of celebra-
tion where the entire camp
participates in festivities with
Israel-themed food, music,
dancing, activities and edu-
cation, luckily didn’t feel too
different from other years.
“Even without [Israeli]
campers, the celebration con-
tinued,” said Lee Trepeck,
Tamarack CEO. “That was very
important to the
Camp Maas team
and to our agency
that we reserved
time to cele-
brate even in the
absence of [Israeli
campers], and the
spirit really reverberated.”
Both Trepeck and Weinstock
believe the Israeli staff mem-
bers being there this summer
brought some normal back to
campus, with the last year and a
half being anything but normal.
“It was so important to
give these campers a sense of
normalcy, our camp commu-
nity some of the same spirit as
always and to remain connected
to Israel in a time where too
many people are disconnected,
”
Trepeck said.
