Camp HASC

So, we sent Yosh on the bus to Camp HASC this morning. If you ever want a jaw dropping experience, go to the bus pickup for Camp HASC. There was NO center of attention. No one walking around with a clipboard or megaphone saying look at me. NO ONE!!!!!!!!!! This was all about the campers not the staff. I am sure on their application for staff it says egos need not apply. Watch the videos of the camp there is no center of attention, it is all about the campers. NOONE came over to us and said " Hi I'm Joe Shmoe and this is my plan for Yosh for the Summer." Instead it was all about hanging out with the kids. There were no cliques. Sure there were people who knew each other from school, the prior Summer or Yachad, but NO cliques. There was no crowd of people hanging out in one spot shmoozing, it was truly about getting to meet the campers. Yosh is in a bunk with 3 other boys and 5 counselors. That's right 4 campers 5 counselors. That doesn't include the division head or head counselor. Let me reiterate there was no center of attention that any large group has. No one showing off the walky talky by having it on full blast. NOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
