any Jewish children learn about their religion and heritage throughout the school year. But when summer comes, there is a period where religious learning may take a halt.

According to Rabbi Yaakov Boruch Beren, co-director of Camp Chaverim in Fannettsburg, Pa., Beren and Jill Weiszner, owner and director of Camp Chabad of Cleveland in Beachwood, Jewish camps offer a unique opportunity to continue religious learning.

“You want to Weiszner keep their Jewish experiences fresh and updated throughout the summer,” Weiszner said. “We talk about a nine- to a 10-week interval between school ending and starting again. For parents who opt for Jewish education throughout the year, this continues that exposure.”

Beren added, “A religious camp, depending on what values your family has, starts with the child. Any camp can be a place they can holistically grow in their emotion and independence. But why religious camp? A religious camp can be a place for religious values to be strengthened in a positive way.”

Both directors said religious camps and secular camps are similar at their core.

“Throughout the school year, (children) are getting their education, but throughout the summer, everything is about fun and play,” Weiszner explained. “We choose to provide fun and play through the Jewish experience and that gives a lot of inspiration to children. It’s a hands-on experience.”

Beren said, “A religious sleep-away camp is a place where you can interact with the values of Judaism in a way that is fun and alive. It boils down to the difference between the two. If you’re

religious, Jewish values are something you live day in and day out. That belief shows. That is what makes the two experiences different.”

Jewish camps can cultivate a child’s religious and cultural identity.

At Camp Chabad, Weiszner said campers are in a kosher environment, which may be new for some.

“We even take them on trips to the supermarket and show them the kosher symbols on the packaging,” she noted.

“They are aware that they shouldn’t eat just any treat or drink everything. It’s about cultivating the whole child in that identity.”

Beren said Jewish camp and cultivating a child’s identity goes handin-hand.

“The child’s social, emotional and physical needs should be developed first,” he said. “You think of a kid as a regular kid. A religious camp is not about walking into this strictly religious box. Imagine it has the social, emotional and physical benefit that any camp does, but there is the opportunity to experience religion in a unique setting other than school. You can connect to it in a new, positive way.”

When choosing a Jewish camp for one’s child, parents should do their research.

“They can talk to other campers that have come and get their opinions,” Weiszner said. “They can also talk to someone like me. Do your research, make some phone calls and talk to directors as much as you can. Also, it’s good to make a visit throughout the summer to see the camp in action.”

Beren added parents should keep their goals in mind when searching for a Jewish camp.

“I’m thinking of someone who is wondering what will happen if they send their child to a religious camp,” he said. “Religion can be such an amazing experience for a child and for a human being. It is one of the greatest gifts.

Camp is a way for a kid to connect in that summer. They can see the beauty of living life as someone who is in the moment. Keep that in mind while searching.”

Earlier the camp search, the more options available BECKY RASPE | SPECIAL SECTIONS STAFF REPORTER @BeckyRaspeCJN braspe@cjn.org |

hose planning to attend summer camp shouldn’t wait too long or their options may be limited.

According to Leah Backo, marketing and public relations coordinator at Geauga Humane Society’s Rescue Village in Russell Township, which has animal-driven camps, and Jim Rosenberger, owner of Chagrin Valley Athletic Club in Bainbridge Township, which has sports and junior camps, starting the camp search early allows for more options.

“It is never too early (to start searching),” Rosenberger said. “Well-run camps have management

in place who return each year so programs are scheduled and unlikely to change. Early shopping may result in a better price. Prime days may sell out, so early is better. Most families plan the short summer break well in advance.”

Backo noted, “Our camps, especially our summer camp, are very popular and often fill up fast.

Backo It’s a great idea to apply and reserve your sport sooner rather than later to make sure your child doesn’t miss out on all that summer camps have to offer. There aren’t downsides to starting the process

early, especially if you know your child would want to take advantage of (a particular) summer camp.”

Those who start the process earlier have more time to gather information.

“Starting the search early allows families to do a little bit more research in the camp they might be interested in,” Backo explained. “Doing the research of the organization the camp is through will definitely help (parents) make the right decision.”

Rosenberg said families can then compare offerings, prices, specials and schedules.

“Parents can also use the time to meet the managers and ask about returning counselors and see facilities,” he said.

He also added many day camps also offer beforeand after-care options, making it easier for working or busy parents.

“Early sign-up ensures these spots will be held for campers who desire this service,” Rosenberg added.

If a family does wait until the last minute to apply for camps, both professionals said there could be issues.

“They could potentially not get into the camp they want or get on a wait list,” Backo stated. “For example, because our five-day camps run throughout the summer, there is a possibility that if one camp fills up, you could get a slot another week. But we can’t guarantee the week you are available is the same week we have open.”

Rosenberg quoted Susan Del Gatto, author of “Creating Balance in a World of Stress,” saying, “If you choose to not deal with an issue, then you give up your right of control over the issue and it will select the path of least resistance.” He said the quote directly applies to early camp searches, especially if one waits too long.

Backo and Rosenberg suggested families begin their search on a camp’s website, but they should also ask others who have attended that camp.

“If you’re interested in local summer camps, there are also several local camp guides that give great summaries of local camps,” Backo said.

Rosenberger added, “Ask your friends where they went and why they would go back.”

Camp exposes children to outdoor safety BECKY RASPE | SPECIAL SECTIONS STAFF REPORTER @BeckyRaspeCJN braspe@cjn.org |

F

or many children, summer camp is their only exposure to nature and because of this, they don’t know how to be safe while outdoors.

According to Abby Kaufman, associate director of the Mandel Jewish Community Center’s Camp Wise in Claridon Township, and Jean Rakey, director of outdoor life at Camp Walden in Cheboygan, Mich., this gives camps a unique opportunity to teach about outdoor and nature safety.

“Most of the kids who come to Kaufman camp have grown up in the suburbs and suburban areas,” Rakey said.

“Being outside in a natural setting is new or unfamiliar for most of these kids. The great out-of-doors offers a lot of opportunities to learn new things, but there are also risks that aren’t usually found in their home setting.”

Kaufman said, “It is important Rakey for campers to understand their whereabouts and identify areas of safety and areas of danger so that they can independently and successfully navigate the outdoor camp environment.”

At Camp Wise, Kaufman said campers are exposed to more than 325 acres, with natural bodies of water.

“Campers must be equipped with the skills to identify features of their natural environment, risk and changes to the spaces around them so they can successfully experience the outdoor activities at camp,” she added.

Camp Walden, which is set on a hundred acres, campers can experience a lake area, sections of old growth forests and open meadows. The areas of camp need different safety measures.

“Kids are outside most of the day and some of the activities they can engage in definitely have safety issues as well,” Rakey stated. “These are things (campers) don’t usually think of prior coming to camp. Hopefully at any camp, but especially at Camp Walden, having fun is important but being safe is most important. We want to send them home in the same condition we got them in.”

Kaufman explained camp is the perfect setting for nature safety lessons.

“In Jewish culture and history, there is a deep sense of appreciation for nature and understanding that ‘what we give is what we get,’” she said. “As media and technology continue to expand in presence in our daily lives, residential camps like ours have a unique opportunity to increase campers’ awareness, knowledge and confidence in the outdoors.”

Both camps teach nature safety in different ways.

Rakey said almost any outdoor activity has a safety aspect to it. Some are obvious, like wearing sunscreen for sun exposure, and others not so much. She said campers need to take swim tests for water safety and should be mindful of insects by wearing bug spray.

“Fire safety is also a big thing,” she said. “Most of the kids, at some point, will end up building or sitting

around a campfire or cooking over fires. Another thing we focus on is animal safety, including wild animals. If you’re out in a wilderness camping situation, you could possibly encounter (wild animals).”

Kaufman said Camp Wise teaches nature safety through learning opportunities.

“On the first day of camp, we orient all campers to the camp space by taking them on a tour of our camp facility and grounds,” she noted. “This provides a great opportunity for campers to get to know their surroundings and identify safe spaces in case of severe and inclement weather. ... Campers also learn about important environmental education principles such as

Leave No Trace and how to safely explore the natural world without negatively impacting it.”

Both professionals expressed the importance of continuing nature safety lessons at home.

“Once camp is over, the campers can talk to their families about doing more outdoor activities,” Rakey said. “We hope they then take that knowledge with them when they go.”

Kaufman added, “By cultivating curiosity of the natural world and supporting campers in continuing to learn more about it, families can help strengthen their camper’s connection and understanding of nature.”

Summer camp can help teenagers grow BECKY RASPE | SPECIAL SECTIONS STAFF REPORTER @BeckyRaspeCJN braspe@cjn.org |

S

ummer camp is a common activity for young children.

But according to Dave Devey, director of Falcon Camp in Carrollton which is about 30 miles south of Canton, and Joe Mendes, director of Camp Roosevelt-Firebird in Bowerston which is about 35 miles Devey south of Canton, teens can also enjoy camp depending on programming.

“There needs to be more depth than the camp they went to when they were younger,” Devey explained. “Teens need the opportunity Mendes to grow, whether that is leadership training or getting involved with more skilled activities.

They need the opportunity to grow in a variety of ways other than only having fun.”

Devey said it is easier for residential camps to do this.

“You have more opportunity to get more in-depth in some of your activities,” he said. “The rewards are huge. There are good reasons to continue going to camp but there has to be a purpose in it.”

As children reach their teenage years, they face many social changes and it can be stressful. Having a “nurturing” environment like camp can help combat conflicting emotions, Mendes said.

“At camp, teens have the opportunity to interact in a safe environment with less social pressure and judgment,” he stated. “Thus, kids have a unique opportunity to learn about themselves as they go about all the happy and messy parts of life. When conflict arises, we help kids sort out their issues and resolve them instead of sweeping them under the rug, which often happens in

the hustle and bustle of life.”

Mendes explained many teens struggle with anxiety. But camp allows them to form meaningful relationships without the stress.

“This can provide teens with more confidence and awareness as they develop and embrace their own priorities, values and sense of self,” Mendes said.

Both professionals said teens benefit from camp leadership experiences.

“These experiences can teach everything, but specifically, independence, self-confidence, empathy and (appreciation for) diversity,” Devey noted. “You name it, you find that opportunity at camp. You get more self-confidence in your abilities and a comfort level in who you are as a person. That plays a huge role when you get to high school. Camp is a perfect opportunity for that.”

Mendes added, “Teens can learn to lead and care for others. Teens can learn to socialize in a healthy and positive way at camp. They can learn to communicate

clearly and address conflict with the support of others. They can express who they are and find acceptance. At school, and on teams, this isn’t usually the priority.”

It’s not uncommon for teens to fall off of the camp tradition.

“There are so many other specialized activities for teens these days,” Mendes said. “Kids may also feel they have to begin building a resume for their college application or get a job. It is harder to make camp a priority. These factors may play a part in teens deciding to drop out of camp. But, if the camp culture is strong and meaningful, many teen campers will come back.”

Devey said, “There is also a perception that camp is for kids. As you want to turn into an adult, you think you’re too old for camp. The camp itself has to sit down and see what it is going to do to make the experience worthwhile and fun for a 15-year-old. That has to be intentional. You can’t run the same old, same old and expect teens to come back.”

If an individual is interested in a camp career, they should determine the setting they want to be in.

“Many counselors want to be employed and simultaneously have an enjoyable summer,” Auslander said. “If someone wants to work in a camp, I would advise them to apply early so that camp directors can keep them in mind when they plan placements for each position.”

orking at a camp offers many advantages.

Elisheva Auslander, head counselor at Camp S.T.E.P. and early childhood teacher at Hebrew Academy of Cleveland in Cleveland Heights, and Brooke Bilinsky, resident female coordinator at Camp Cheerful in Strongsville, both said they knew a career related to education was what they wanted and they found camp to be the perfect cross-section of education and fun.

“As a child, my dream was Bilinsky always to become a teacher of young children,” Auslander said. “I get tremendous satisfaction from teaching children, especially at the early childhood level. I love being part of their foundational years of growth and maturity.”

She said it is the reason she decided to head Hebrew Academy’s Camp S.T.E.P. K’Tan Tan division.

“I love to play a role in a young child’s life,” Auslander explained.

At Camp Cheerful, Bilinsky works with adults who have disabilities. She said she was inspired to work at a camp to be involved in a person’s growth.

“I never thought this would be something I was interested in doing, but I have worked with kids in a special education classroom setting before and thought that Camp Cheerful would be a great summer job for me.”

As soon as she got to camp, Bilinsky knew she wanted to be involved.

“Every college student, or person around that age, should experience working at a summer camp because it gives you a humble perspective on life,” she noted. “I was interested in the summer camp world and I wanted to spend my summer helping people that couldn’t do things for themselves and help them have the best summer possible. It worked out perfectly for me.”

Auslander and Bilinsky said a camp career has many fulfilling aspects.

“We get to create a special sense of camaraderie among the children in camp,” Auslander explained.

“In such young campers, watching those friendships develop is priceless. My favorite part of working in a camp is the feeling of enjoyment that I get knowing the campers are having a good time in a safe and fun environment.”

Bilinsky noted her favorite part is the selffulfillment.

“I get to wake up every day in the summer and do activities, fish, visit the horses, have talent shows, campfires and get paid for having fun with my friends and campers,” she said. “Some moments are harder than others, especially when working with people with severe disabilities, but it’s worth it.”

When it comes to returning each year, Bilinsky and Auslander said there is no hesitation.

Budgeting for summer camp makes plenty of cents BECKY RASPE | SPECIAL SECTIONS STAFF REPORTER @BeckyRaspeCJN braspe@cjn.org |

C

amp can be expensive, but ways exist to manage costs.

According to Todd Resnick, co-founder and president of One Seven in Beachwood, and Miriah Seckel, director of Summer at Laurel at Laurel School in Shaker Heights, parents should budget for camp well before summer vacation.

“Camp is an incredible opportunity for kids to grow and gain greater independence,” Resnick said.

“However, camp costs continue to increase each year.

So, having a plan and analyzing the costs are very

important.”

As the parent of a first-time overnight camper, Resnick said he’s working through the motions of financial planning. He and his wife are planning the costs for three weeks of overnight camp.

“Then imagine the families out there that have more than one kid going to overnight, or even day camp,” he said. “It can add up to where you can be spending enough for part of tuition to college, many family vacations or more savings for retirement.”

Seckel said camps can be expensive, but noted families get what they pay for.

“Camp is no different from schools,” she stated.

“They come in all shapes, sizes and price differences.

Some of the more robust camps that parents have gotten used to over the years aren’t all that inexpensive. If those are the types of camps you want to send your kids to, you want to think about it well ahead of time.

If you wait until summer to plan for summer, you’re too late.”

Resnick and Seckel said camp costs can add up.

Resnick “It goes back to how all camps are different and not one size fits all,” Seckel said. “There is something for everyone like some people only need a half day of camp.

But if you’re looking at a full day, that is where it all starts to differ greatly.”

Resnick added, “When looking at overnight camp, there is not only Seckel the cost of sending the kids to camp, but also all the things that need to happen before. There will obviously be the packing list and the other necessities to brave a summer in the woods.”

Seckel said now is the best time to start planning.

“One thing a lot of people might not realize is you can put tax money away for camp costs,” she noted.

“The beginning of the year is a great time to think about your future costs.”

Though Laurel School doesn’t offer financial assistance, the school introduced a new payment plan for 2019.

“When you register, you’re putting 25 percent of the payment down, and the rest is split into monthly payments until camp starts,” Seckel explained. “So, there is an incentive here to enroll earlier.”

Resnick plans to create a new bank account and place money into it each month for both of his children. However, if one is unsure where to start, he suggested seeking professional help.

“Any large costs such as sending kids to camp, a new house, vacation home and college can be looked at a number of ways,” he said. “By working with an adviser, you get another perspective that can take emotion out of the equation, give you an honest perspective on any challenges you are facing or confirm your thinking and give you validation and comfort to move ahead.”

“When looking at overnight camp, there is not only the cost of sending the kids to camp but also all the things that need to happen before. There will obviously be the packing list and the other necessities to brave a summer in the woods.”

S

haker Rocks, a new indoor rock climbing gym in Shaker Heights’ Van Aken District scheduled to open this spring, announced plans for one-week rockclimbing camps for children in grades one through eight.

Owner Annie Richman said offering a rock-climbing camp felt like it fit the goals of the climbing gym.

“Climbing is fun and summer is about having fun,” she said. “Plus, climbing is something new for many people in Northeast Ohio and summer is also about being adventurous and trying new things.”

The camp will offer top-rope climbing, bouldering, slacklining and team-building games.

“Shaker Rocks is the first full-scale climbing gym in the region,” she noted. “There is speed climbing, top roping, lead climbing, auto-belays and bouldering. It is also located in the midst of Van Aken District, walkable to multiple shops and eateries.”

Richman said the climbing camp will offer a unique experience for families.

“We hope campers feel complete joy as they accomplish goals they have worked for,” Richman said. “We want to help families see climbing as a lifetime sport that all generations can enjoy together. Although rock climbing by its nature is an individual sport, it cannot be done alone. ... Summer camp at Shaker Rocks develops courageous and openminded kids. Daily adventures requiring determination, problem-solving and a generous dose of helping others keep campers engaged from hands to heart.”

Weekly camps are Monday through Friday for half days, full days and extended days. Sessions begin June 10, June 17 and June 24, July 15, July 22 and July 29, and Aug. 5 and 12. All camps include entrance to the gym, rental gear and a snack.

Registration begins in February.
