[quote=Anonymous]For me as a kid and for my kids now, camp immersed us in cultural life with people with similar backgrounds growing up in places with limited other Jewish kids at school. We can sing our songs and talk about our traditions and celebrate our sabbath without being the odd one out because of it. It’s a sense of belonging and connection that follows you through life. I don’t recall any non Jewish kids at my camp. My camp wasn’t super religious but the color war teams were Jewish themed (go team Challah 1989!) and we sang blessings before a meal and songs on Friday nights. We attended each others bar/bat mitzvahs. And to this day we play “Jewish Geography” every time we meet another Jewish person to figure out who our mutual friends are from camp and youth group.
