Camp Kesher

(This also should have been August.) We love our tradition of ending the summer with Camp Kesher. Aaron was particularly photogenic this year.  







His two camp buddies were Erez and Ezra - can you imagine being their counselor? Good thing there wasn’t a Nerez or a Zera in the mix.



Jordan, meanwhile, had his first year as an actual paid camp counselor. (Not paid much, but still.) He was with the fourth graders, a group that includes a pair of extremely active and boisterous twins. Jordan decided that he was going to have a good time with them, and he really did. They spent a ton of time together and had a blast. Some of the other counselors have not had such a successful relationship with these kids, and the camp director asked Jordan to share his approach. “Don’t tell them not to do things,” was Jordan’s answer. “Don’t talk to them like they’re bad or in trouble; it just makes them mad. Instead, go along with them and have fun! They’re a good time.” Here he is with a few of his charges, and then with all the camp counselors.
