For the 18th summer, we are sending a delegation to Camp Timberlane in Canada. For three unforgettable weeks, 34 bereaved children and seven counselors will participate in Timberlane’s spirit, sports, activities, and culture, experiencing the magic of a true Canadian summer. Since the program began, hundreds of Israeli campers have found healing and joy through this experience, while also building bridges between countries and forging lifetime friendships.
We hosted a special pre-camp orientation in Israel to help our participants prepare for their summer overseas. Campers and their families met with OneFamily’s local staff, and were joined by Toby Rosner, the Executive Director of OneFamily Canada, and Camp Timberlane’s leadership, including owner Corey Mandel, and director Harley Hayman. Toby, Corey and Harley all came to Israel specifically to be at this event to meet and support the campers. The children also had the opportunity to meet their counselors, giving them a familiar and friendly face to look for when they get to Canada.
