Executive Director's Greeting |
Shalom Chaverim
(Hello Friends),
Welcome to the Pipeline,
Camp Tawonga's e-newsletter. As many of you
know, Pipeline is the main route from Camp down to the river and leads to a spot
where campers swim, have cookouts, use Camp's sweat lodge and play. I hope the name, Pipeline, brings warm
thoughts and feelings as you read about what's going on at Camp.
As summer approaches
we on staff are more and more excited for our move to Camp, staff training, and
the arrival of campers. There is truly
nothing like it.
The Pipeline
is intended to be informative, concise and fun. This issue features information
about how parents and others can see what's going on at Camp during the summer
by visiting our online blog, a great opportunity to host Israeli kids for a few days this summer, and alumni updates.
We welcome your
input, including submission of updates on alumni or events in the community.
Please forward items to Jed Herman, Director of Donor Engagement and Agency Advancement,
at [email protected].
Thank you so
much for being a valued part of the Tawonga community. Here's to a wonderful
summer!
B'Shalom,
Adam Weisberg
Executive
Director

Host an Israeli Teen this Summer!

Cross-Cultural
Opportunity to Host Israeli Campers and Staff
This
summer we will again welcome a group of Israelis as campers and staff at Camp
Tawonga through our Noar L'Noar program.
Please help us welcome them into the camp community by hosting two or
more of them for three days between when they arrive in San Francisco and when
they go to camp. Hosts from past years say
this is one of their most memorable Camp Tawonga experiences and an important way of maintaining a connection with Israel and Israelis.
While
in the Bay Area, the teens and the three Israeli staff accompanying them will spend
most of their time doing activities with Tawonga staff. As hosts, we ask that you meet the teens at
SFO when they arrive Thursday, July 23 and host them as overnight guests until
they depart for camp on Sunday, July 26.
On Friday and Saturday there will be organized programs for the teens
during the day starting and ending at Camp Tawonga's downtown SF office.
Hosting
dates: Thursday, July 23 -Sunday morning, July 26
Please
rsvp or direct any questions to Teen Program Coordinator Aaron Mandel at [email protected] or at 415-543-2267 x102.
Thank you for your generous consideration.
