Summertime and the Livin’ Is Costly

Day schools are fine for school days. Synagogue is great for Shabbat and High Holidays. But for those weeks when children are in cabins, singing and laughing with friends, Jewish camp is a singular experience of 24/7, full-tilt boogie Judaism.

\”Although I attended religious school, summer camp is where I first became connected with being Jewish,\” said Fred Reisz, a Brentwood attorney and father of two toddlers who was a Camp Hess Kramer camper from 1975 to 1979, then a camp staffer from 1980 to 1985. \”I think it\’s important to realize that these summer camps are \’Jewish summer camps\’ as opposed to summer camps for Jews; you get a sense of your heritage and it instills a pride and joy in being Jewish.\”
