amarack Camps will 
always hold a very 
special place in our 
hearts. We grew up at camp. 
Collectively, 
we spent 33 
summers as 
campers and 
staff at Tamarack 
Camps. 
We formed 
friendships, 
celebrated 
birthdays, theme 
days, went on 
camping trips and competed 
in the Maccabiah Games. 
However, one event 
that was always a summer 

highlight was coming together 
as a camp community to 
sing, dance and watch 
the talented Israeli Scouts 
Caravan perform. As soon 
as their performance began, 
you could feel their energy 
and excitement. It was a 

wonderful opportunity for 
campers and staff to celebrate 
Israel and our Jewish pride 
together. 
The Scouts are a group of 
Israeli teens who tour around 
the globe performing upbeat, 
family-friendly sing-alongs. 
With a mix of familiar tunes 
and Israeli music, there’s 
something for everyone. For 
over 50 years, they’ve been 
bringing positive energy and 
Israeli spirit to audiences.
When we heard that 
Congregation Shaarey Zedek 
was bringing the Israeli Scouts 
to town, we were ecstatic. 
We could relive the nostalgia 

and share in the joy with our 
own children. We can’t wait to 
watch our kids experience the 
Scouts for the first time. 
Join us at Congregation 
Shaarey Zedek on Sunday, 
June 30, to see what the 
Scouts are all about! For 
$5 per family, a hot dog 
dinner is included with event 
admission. Dinner starts 
at 5 p.m. and the concert 
will begin at 5:30. For more 
information or to register,

this is an event you do not 
want to miss!
