Dear Camp Harlam Community,

It is with a heavy but full heart that I will be departing from my role on the Camp Harlam Professional Staff this spring. While this is a bittersweet announcement, I leave feeling immense gratitude and appreciation for the four years I have been a member of the Professional Staff and the seventeen total summers that I have spent in Kunkletown.

I will miss the frisbee tosses, COW onesies, Shabbat Sha-ball, banquet clean-up dance parties, 3v3 tournaments, cloud watching, DJing staff meetings and stonegs, scabby queen, office hangouts, cohort times, Camp K’ton golf cart washes, and so much more.

I might even miss the Pro Staff MTV night dances, mealtime ice machine patrol, luggage lifting, thunderstorm camper shuttles, pierogi days, Cold Brew brews, kitchen last cart clearings, variety show supervisor skits that make fun of the way I walk, and so much more.

But most of all, I will miss the people. Thank you to all the campers and staff who I’ve learned and laughed with. From Sharon Camper to Carmel Cabin Counselor to K’far Noar Assistant Unit Head to Assistant Director, all throughout my many camp years I have been incredibly lucky to form deep, strong relationships and wonderful, lasting memories with so many Harlamites. Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me – I am grateful for each and every one of you.

This community will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m looking forward to seeing all the magic continue this summer and for years to come, because, after all – it’s summertime forever.

Can’t wait to visit 🙂

Aaron
