As an adventure staff member you see pretty much every emotion in the kids you work with. You see the happiness and adrenaline rush when kids reach the bottom of the zip line as well as the fear and anxiety they experience before stepping off the platform.

Yes, we are all different. We like different foods, enjoy different sports, and have different interests in life. In life and at camp, our differences can make it hard for people to work together, to get along with each other, or find the similarities between each other.

Like the tzitzit on a talit, there are twist, turns, and even knots in a summer here at Camp Harlam.  But our faculty joy is in lifting up the presence of God, and teaching Torah in the larger and smaller moments.

I for sure wasn’t ready to meet a kid twice my age who I was supposed to create some sort of connection with, but it turns out, I was wrong. I absolutely loved it and my buddy was amazing. His name was Tyler and we hit it off instantly.

Camp Harlam for the first time has allowed me to become a part of something bigger than myself and grow as a member of our own Kehila Kedosha (sacred community), which I will be eternally grateful for.

The most satisfying moment was after testing, when we put all of our skills into use to earn our lifeguarding certification, and to join the waterfront community.
