If You Experience Joy All the Time, Is It Really Anything Special?
5 years later, I now feel all of the love from my former counselors, some who have been with me throughout this entire journey. I feel so many new connections to this place that have really always been there, even though it has taken me until now to find them.
The World Needs Camp. Camp Needs You. The World Needs You.
We hope that the time you have spent at camp has filled you with passion, gratitude, and purpose. Each summer at camp is a living monument to the forces of hope and imagination, creativity and love.

One of the best metaphors for how camp brings out your best and true self is the nicknames that our campers and staff acquire during their time here. Nicknames are acquired when one completes a significant challenge.
Charlotte, This Place is Yours Now
Josh Bomze has given us leadership, creativity, joy…he has taught us, he has empowered us…he’s pulled a few pranks, said some outstandingly funny stuff…but in my view, the greatest gift he has made to camp is giving his child a chance to make this her own.
Finding Joy: Through the Eyes of Carmel Campers
Singing at song session, hanging out with friends at rest hour, and jumping off the diving board are a few ways we found joy at camp. We found simcha this summer, and we hope you did too.
Chose Your Words Wisely
In the story I just read, words were so powerful to eradicate and repair. Our words, when chosen wisely, can carry undeniable force as we decide whether to use words to encourage, or to be destructive, to help or to heal, to hurt or to harm.
“Where I’m From” an Original Song Written by Dan Nichols and Friends
We are all one people singing this one song
We are future history- friends, now family
Why I Go to Camp
I go to camp to become reJEWvenated. I have always loved camp, and two weeks spent secluded in the Harlam bubble feeds my soul.
Acharayut: Thinking about others.
Arava will only ever been one small part of the time people spend at camp, but the campers never give up on helping others to make this summer the best one yet.
