13 Reasons we love camp!!
Sophie- "Growing up I lived 10 months for 2 - always looking forward to being back at camp with all my friends. My favorite day at camp was Shabbat when after services my friends and I would lay on the grass and chat and read and then I would meet up with my sisters and cousins and we would talk about our week and play cards. It was such a special time of our adventure filled weeks to relax and spend time with everyone and enjoy the magic of camp!"
