MITZVAH CORPS CAMP, ENTERING GRADES 7, 8 & 9
Mitzvah Corps offers a program based on service learning and advocacy. Campers will explore issues relevant to today’s world, learn advocacy training skills, and make a difference through community service experiences. Each week will focus on a different topic allowing campers to help those in need around Montgomery County, learn from advocacy experts working in DC’s lobbying organizations and commit to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world). Campers will also enjoy some general camp activities including swim, sports, Shabbat celebrations and special events. Campers can earn SSL hours. Space is limited and an additional camper essay is required for acceptance into this program. Contact mitzvahcorps@jccgw.org for details!
