Only Seven Months Until Summer! Find Your Perfect Jewish Overnight Camp Experience at “Not Your Typical Camp Fair” on November 9 DO IT FOR F amilies are invited to the “Not Your Typical Camp Fair” on Sunday, November 9, which offers prospective campers and their parents the opportunity to learn about a variety of Jewish overnight camps, meet the camp directors, and talk with other camp families. The Camp Fair takes place from 2 to 4 p.m., at WhirlyBall Cleveland, 5055 Richmond Road, Bedford Heights. The event is sponsored by The Michael and Anita Siegal One Happy Camper Program, the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland, and the Jewish Federation of Cleveland. Participating camps include BBYO Summer Experiences, B’nai B’rith Beber Camp, Brandeis High School Programs, Camp JRF, Camp Henry Horner, Camp Livingston, Camp Nageela Midwest, Camp Ramah in Canada, Camp Stone, Camp Wise, Camp Young Judaea Midwest, Camp Zeke, Eden Village Camp, Emma Kaufmann Camp, Passport NYC, URJ Camp George, URJ Goldman Union Camp Institute, URJ Kutz Camp for Jewish Teens, and URJ 6 Points Sports Academy. “All of these camps are vibrant, welcoming communities rooted in Jewish values,” said Hannah Mendelsohn, event coordinator. “Attending a Jewish overnight camp has been shown to have a powerful impact on creating Jewish identity in children that lasts a lifetime.” Current and prospective campers can play WhirlyBall, laser tag, and bowl with their friends and camp staff. Staff will answer questions about camp life and help kids and parents determine which camp experience is the best fit. Current campers who bring a friend can introduce them to their camp director and win free camp “swag.” Firsttime campers can learn if they are eligible for up to $1,000 off camp tuition. Parents who register their child for camp for the first time at the event receive a $100 credit (subject to camp approval). The event is free and open to parents and their children.
