Interviewing Camp Participants @ Khabarovsk

It is my first time in the camp and I love it very much! Days pass as seconds, so fast… When I just entered the bus going to the camp children and counselors were smiling at me and waving hand that I immediately felt myself at home. Our counselors are so cool that if I did not know that they study in university I would say that they are teenagers like me.
Miriam, 13 y.o.

I made many friends in the camp! Unfortunately I live rather far from Khabarovsk and I can't come to youth club activities but thanks to social networks we will stay in contact! See you next year!
Violetta, 15 y.o.

I considered myself an expert in Jewish life as I study in Jewish day school but there were so many new things I've learnt in the camp. I loved the way we spent Shabbat. For the first time I felt that it was part of me, part of my culture, my heritage! Thank you!
Nastya, 14 y.o.

The camp made me a little better person and a better Jew! I will remember every day forever!
Sergey, 17 y.o.


 

This summer I made a research with my group. Each of us chose a topic in Jewish history, tradition or culture and studied it. Later we had presentations. It was a great process of learning together! I'm sure that these children who were in my group this summer in couple years will become responsible members of our Jewish community!
Ksenia, 22 y.o.

 

Our Activities
For nearly two decades, our network of summer and winter camps in the former Soviet Union have reached tens of thousands of children, teens, university-age students and their families, connecting them to their heritage, Israel and the Jewish people. The week-long summer camps, which operate in over 14 cities and towns, immerse campers in a week of Jewish life, learning and culture.

Our Impact
Camp is a cultural lifeline for youth, especially in small peripheral cities and towns where it is often the only Jewish educational activity the entire year. It also encourages campers to further explore their heritage and become involved in youth clubs, Sunday schools, and Jewish holiday celebrations.  Nearly 50% of campers return to camp and many become community leaders.  Former campers are also prime candidates for short and long–term programs in Israel such as Taglit- Birthright Israel and MASA.

Our Partners
Camping in the FSU would not be possible without the critical partnership of:
Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, The Associated-Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (ICHEIC), International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland, Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford, UJA– Federation of New York, Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, Jewish Community Federation of Greater Rochester, Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, United Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh, Jewish Federation of Greater Middlesex County, Jewish Federation of Monmouth County, Jewish Federation of St. Louis, Syracuse Jewish Federation, Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, and The Genesis Philanthropy Group.
