News from Kol Ami

on Sunday, 28 August 2016.

I just finished my week on faculty at Camp George. For my part, it's been a week of planning, teaching and meeting wonderful colleagues from across Ontario. However, my greatest pleasure has been watching our Kol Ami "kids".

Throughout the week I have seen our counselors engaged warmly with their campers, showing them compassion and kindness. I have witnessed with great pride Kol Ami campers enthusiastically engaged in Limudim (Educationals), strut their stuff on stage in a production of Lion King, enduring injuries with humour and grace, participating in T'fillah, jumping and singing to Hebrew songs, and wishing their friends and counselors a Shabbat Shalom.

Camp George is not just another Ontario camp, it's our camp, and our Kol Ami kids live and breathe Judaism here, while being their own unique wonderful selves. What a privilege it was to experience camp alongside them.

L’Shalom,
Judy
