Dear Yavneh Family,

With camp set to welcome your children in just a few days, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to those who have helped get us here. We are eagerly anticipating a wonderful summer at Machaneh Yavneh!

Yavneh’s leadership team, led by our incredible new director Jane-Rachel Schonbrun, has been hard at work for months getting camp ready to open the gates for Kerem starting Sunday June 26th, followed by campers on June 28th. We want to sincerely thank Bil Zarch, our outgoing director, for helping to ease Jane-Rachel’s transition into her new position. We look forward to more formal recognition at a later date of Bil's many contributions to camp. Jane-Rachel hit the ground running and has been getting to know the ins and outs of camp and can’t wait to start her first summer at Yavneh. Our Board of Directors is impressed with Jane-Rachel’s leadership and we can't wait to support her as she directs Yavneh into the future.

A special thanks goes to the year-round team, our summer staff and our trusted advisors for working tirelessly on behalf of Yavneh to help ensure that all measures and support are given to guide another phenomenal camp summer amidst a global pandemic. As the Covid landscape is ever-changing, we know that a dedicated team is working with Jane-Rachel to ensure the health and wellness of our entire Camp Yavneh community.

Finally, we want to thank you, our camp families, for entrusting us with your children for the summer on Lucas Pond. Yavneh staff is eagerly waiting to welcome your children for Kayitz 2022. This summer promises to be filled with traditions, old and new, engaging activities, ruach, learning and love for Judaism in the Klal Yisrael spirit that makes Camp Yavneh so special.  Wishing you all our best for a Shabbat Shalom and a wonderful summer!

L’hitraot,
