Welcome, Israeli
Campers!
I
n only a few short
weeks we will be
welcoming our first
group of Israeli campers
to Metro Detroit after a
two-summer
hiatus due to
COVID.
The
campers,
many of
whom have
never left the
Partnership
region, let alone the
country, have been
attending preparation
sessions to get them ready
for the life-changing
summer that lies ahead.
While this summer will
look a bit different than
past summers, we are
so excited to be able to
bring the Israeli campers
to Tamarack for a true,
Jewish American summer
camp experience at the
Greatest Place on Earth.
This will be the Israeli
Camper Program’s
19th summer since its
conception in 2002. In
addition to the Israeli
campers, we will welcome
21 TLV (Teen Leadership
Village) participants to
camp for second session.
Their session at camp will
follow their participation
on the Sue and Alan
Kaufman and Family Teen
Mission, where they will
travel around Israel with
American counterparts for
four weeks.
These programs are
two of the Israel and
Overseas Department’s
flagship programs, and
not having them the past
two summers has been
devastating, but we are
all ready to welcome the
Israeli campers and TLV’s
to Detroit with open arms
and open hearts!
Jaime Bean is associate director of
Israel and Overseas at the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.
This was first published in their
newsletter.
Israeli campers will soon be coming to Camp Tamarack.
