The moment you help collect change for collective change
Whether it’s through increased confidence, discovering a life passion, developing new friendships or strengthening their Jewish identity, Tamarack campers and staff are forever impacted and forever changed. And in the spirit of this collective change seen year after year, we’ve created the CAMPaign for Change: an initiative that reinforces the Jewish value and tradition of tzedakah.
As part of learning what it means to live Jewishly, campers and staff participate in programs, led by our community rabbis, which deepen their understanding of our shared responsibility to help one another. Additionally, campers will decorate their own tzedakah box, and they’ll be encouraged to collect change to fill them.
Join our “Change Makers” who have initiated a project, collected supplies or raised funds to support camper scholarships and camp’s greatest needs so every child has the opportunity to enjoy a summer at “The Greatest Place on Earth!”
Change Maker projects have included:
- Collecting medical supplies
- Movie screening
- Virtual car race
- Making welcome cards for Israeli campers
- Craft sales, such as bracelets, necklaces, postcards and keychains
- Collecting bottles and cans
- Lemonade stand
- General fundraising
- Dog-walking
- Forming a “Mitzvah Miles” team for the Tamarack Trot
- Volunteering at the Tamarack Trot and other camp events
- Working at Bookstock — you can even bring your bubbies and zaydies!
- And so much more!
