Pictured above are 3 of our Israeli staff members who will be joining us this summer. Their names are Daniela, Ben and Eran.  Eran worked at Camp Hess Kramer a couple years back and is excited to return to the camping world. Daniela is our dance instructor and can’t wait to teach us all some new moves this summer.  Last is Ben who is very excited to be part of our 2008 Staff.  All 3 are currently either in school or working and can’t wait to spend the summer in Bennington.

Along with the rest of the Midwest, Camp Livingston experienced a blizzard this past weekend. The entire camp is covered with a blanket of snow, including the Menorah. It is a very different picture than what we see over the summer, as always everyone is looking forward to the warm summer months!

Meet your 2008 Unit Heads:

Tasha (Golan) and Miranda ( Chalutzim)

Tasha: Hello everyone! My name is Tasha Sharer and I am so excited to have the privilege of being your Golan unit head this summer. I will be a junior at the Indiana University majoring Elementary Education next school year and am originally from Lexington, Kentucky and this is my 11th summer at camp. We’re already coming up with a lot of great ideas and fun activities for the summer. I can’t wait to get to know each one of you and hope you are as excited as I am to get the summer started! See you soon!

Miranda: Hey everyone! I’m Miranda and I am so excited about this summer! I am currently a sophomore going to Indiana University majoring in Journalism with a minor in French. This summer will be my 12th summer at camp and I cannot be happier spending it as a Unit Head! I have so many fun activities planned for the summer and can’t wait to start the best. summer. EVER!

Jamie- Massada

Jamie: Greetings! My name is Jamie Fishman and I thrilled to be the Masada unit head for 2008! This will be my 10th summer at camp, and I very much anticipate it to be the best yet! Originally from Cincinnati, I am currently a sophomore at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH where I study Classics. Believe it or not, I have already started planning some exciting activities for Masada, as well as trying to perfect Dan Grabel’s famed ‘MA-SA-DA’ call. Over the next few weeks when you see that lion of Winter overtake the helpless lamb of Spring, remember that we are only a few short months away from Camp Livingston … I hope you are ready!
