Dear Capital Camps Community,
As we dive into another meaningful and vibrant summer at Capital Camps, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on something deeply important to all of us: mental health and emotional well-being.
At Capital Camps, we see your children not just as campers, but as growing individuals who thrive best in a nurturing, connected community. While we celebrate their physical achievements, spiritual exploration and intellectual growth, we place equal value on supporting their social emotional wellbeing.
Our camp community is built on authentic relationships. Our dedicated counselors play a vital role in cultivating a caring, inclusive environment. Through genuine conversations, intentional and active listening, and heartfelt encouragement. We at Capital Camps are here to help campers feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether it’s during a quiet one-on-one moment or a group session focused on reflective thinking, our staff works to equip campers with lifelong skills for emotional strength and connection.
We also recognize that caring for mental health is not a one-person task, but instead a collective responsibility. That’s why we’ve built a strong and experienced mental health support team, including our exceptional yoetzot, who provide continuous guidance and resources to both campers and staff. Their presence reinforces our belief that a strong, healthy community is essential to each camper’s ability to flourish.
As we grow together, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering a culture of empathy, openness, and mutual support. When campers know they belong, when they feel supported by their peers and trusted adults, they thrive emotionally, socially, intellectually, and spiritually.
Thank you for being a vital part of this journey and trusting us with your child/children. Together, we’re building a resilient community where every child can feel confident, connected, and cared for.
Warmly,
Jesse Braitman
