           BREAKING NEWS!  

“One Camp Today, One Community Tomorrow”

For many, many years, there were two very successful Jewish Day Camps in Pinellas County, Camp Or Hashemesh in the north and Camp Kadima in the south. Although both were JCC Camps, as a result of logistical challenges, the campers, their families and the camp staffs of these two programs rarely got an opportunity to share programming and get to know one another. Clearly, any chance to bring Jewish families together in Pinellas County is a chance to enhance our sense of community. Gaining a sense of togetherness, especially among children, is extremely valuable, both now as well as in the future.  What made this situation even more unique is that the only Jewish Day School in the county, The Pinellas County Jewish Day School, which is more centrally located in the county than the two day camps, did not offer a summer camp program.

Well here is some wonderful news, there will be only one JCC summer day camp this summer in Pinellas County and it will have its home base at the Pinellas County Jewish Day School. This arrangement will not only tear down some of the logistical barriers that existed in the past, but will allow both Jewish and non-Jewish children from all over Pinellas County to come together and enjoy the wide variety of wonderful activities, traditions and events that were previously offered at both camps. More importantly, this camp program will allow its campers, staff and members of this community to bond and establish strong connections that can benefit other Jewish organizations in this county.
