This summer, Camp Judaea decided to show appreciation to our returning campers by gifting them with awesome sweatshirts! These sweatshirts were given to campers who have been coming to camp for FIVE or more years and they say “Chanich Vatik” meaning Veteran Camper.

Our hope is that the campers will wear these sweatshirts year-round to show their loyalty and pride for CJ and also encourage other campers to continue to come to camp year after year— I mean, come on! Everyone wants one of those sweatshirts!

We counted out 106 campers who were eligible for the gift this summer, but two of them need to be acknowledged even more publicly. Alyssa Bigelman and Rachel Ribner, two Chalutzim campers this year, have been attending camp for NINE summers! What an awesome commitment to the place they love from them and their families!
