We are so fortunate to have a diverse and dedicated staff team working with our campers this summer! Read on to learn a little bit about why a few of our counselors chose to work at Capital Camps this summer and what they are excited about as we launch in Summer 2024!
“My name is Yarden, I’m from Pardes Chana, Israel. This is my first year at camp. I wanted the experience of coming to camp. The campers are amazing and we’re having so much fun already! A highlight so far has been singing Taylor Swift songs with my cabin! The campers are so kind and patient and it’s been a great start to the session. I’m looking forward to all the fun camp programs to come and especially the Shabbat Song Session and Rikkud (dancing) with everyone!” –Yarden Ratzon, Mt. Meron Cabin Counselor, Reich Village
“My name is Harry and I’m from London and this is my second summer at camp. I came back to camp because I wanted to have a big impact on new campers and see my campers from last summer. The camp community is something I treasure and value very highly and I’m so happy to be back this summer!” – Harry Tredler, Yerushalayim Cabin Counselor, Benjamin Village
“I’m Talia Moraru. I’m from Washington, DC and this is my 10th summer at Capital Camps and my second on staff. I’m a Rikkud Specialist and counselor in Misgav Am. I came back to camp because I want to create the experience that my counselors made for me growing up that made Capital Camps my second home. I’m really excited to bond with my campers and all of Kaufmann Village. I’ve met amazing new people so far this summer and love spreading the joy of camp dancing!” – Talia Moraru, Misgav Am counselor and Rikkud (Israeli dance) specialist, Kaufmann Village
We can’t wait for your campers to get to know all of our wonderful staff members this summer!!
