The Bridge From Campers to Counselors
Now, as CITs we feel it is our responsibility to teach our campers what our counselors taught us. We want to show them that camp is more than just the tower and the z pool. It’s slamming on the tables during song session and going crazy for Rak Dan.

Life is A Journey, Not a Destination
But it is this journey that serves as an inspiration for us as we live our lives.

So What is Gaga?
So what is Gaga? Doesn’t mean to be a “little off balance? To go “Gaga” over seeing a famous person? Is it about a famous person named “Lady Gaga”? Is it an Israeli version of dodgeball the permeates jewish camps all over the world? Gaga is “all the above”!
