She’s actually a returning camper!
Absolutely loves it! Heaven on earth for her!

So cool you're staff! Idk what you do/did and if you want to share- but every single staff member f’sure will get a special place in Gan Eden for all they do for the campers. Whether it’s known or behind the scenes…

Don’t want to identify myself here 🙈. But BH we are so blessed to have the chance to spend a few weeks in camp each summer. It impacts us in more ways than I can describe. I hope your daughter is doing well, and gets to soak up every minute of simcha magic!

So cool!
Give her hugs and kisses from me Wink

She’s totally soaking it in! Every minute of action packed days- and then it keeps her going for the rest of the year!!

A little off topic, but how long in advance do you need to send in an application in order to be accepted into camp?

Whatever you do, you should know you ppl make the world a better place!!! My husband is a longtime volunteer and got to see close by what it means to give away everything for those sick kids so they should forget abt there pain.

Hashem should bless you!

For staff it fills up quickly and the deadline is pretty strict usually by December. For campers for the cancer session it really depends because for many kids they can’t apply too much in advance because of their situation. For kids for simcha special for chronic illnesses they fill up so best to apply by February.
If you have the chance to be a part of it, it will change you and change your life.

For campers, u need to apply early as well since there's loads of paperwork to get through. They need all kinds of medical info. Chai lifeline tells you to apply and get accepted. When it comes closer to the summer, they figure out who can actually attend due to the circumstances at that time.
