Greetings from the clinic!

Dr. Jon Lauter, Dr. Alex Steinbock, Alana Shambom, Dana Vered and Amy Grand

We are your week six doctors and nurses, here to give you a glimpse into life at camp. We check all the bumps and bruises, handle any medical needs for both campers and staff, and — most importantly — give out popsicles when needed.

What we love about camp is providing care in our flip-flops, making friendship bracelets, playing Euchre and bringing our childhood memories of camp to life. Our favorite camp activities include paddleboarding across the lake and omanut (arts and crafts). This week, we even ran a “Top Chef” competition, in partnership with Farber Farm, during shmooze. Campers worked in teams to create culinary masterpieces using fresh vegetables and herbs, to be judged by the doctors on presentation, taste and, of course, nutritional value. The campers enjoyed being creative and trying some new vegetables!

We’re always here to give your campers a smile or an extra hug, and hopefully, to give you a little peace of mind.
