Most of life is showing up. You do the best you can, which varies from day to day. -Regina Brett, Journalist
If you're on the fence about working at Jewish Camp again next summer, I remind you that you're the foundation of why so many kids love camp too. And, you get to be in a place you love, with people you love - what could be better!?

I want to make a difference in the Jewish camping world. I want to look back and say that I offered my perspective, and I helped leave my mark.

Summer 2020 was really tough. Meeting and learning from camp staff from across North America reminded me that we're all in this together, and that out of something really horrible we can make something really beautiful.

You'll never find better coworkers than summer camp staff. Being a staff member at a Jewish camp means being part of a supportive, loving and kind community for the rest of your life.
