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.
