“I went to camp from the time I was 11 into my 20s. I met my husband and pretty much all of my best friends at camp; it’s like home to me. We have a connection to it.”
“Why do you have a connection to a Jewish camp in particular?”
“I never grew up very religious, but very traditional, and I have a strong Jewish identity. So when it became my turn as a parent, it was the obvious choice because I wanted to continue that tradition of Jewishness. It doesn’t have to be that strict, but the songs and the togetherness get rooted into you and then follow you through your life.”
