This is my 9th kayitz (summer) at camp, and I’m super hyped to spend it with all of you! I’m looking forward to being at Ramah for Shabbat, and also to get back on the Alpine Tower, a crazy climbing challenge. Camp is truly an amazing place with awesome people. I look forward to being around if you need anything during your time at camp, and I can’t wait to help guide you through this journey we’re taking together! See you in tzrif (bunk) 1!

Hey tzrif (bunk) 7, I’m Danny Koenig, and I’m thrilled to be one of your madrichim (counselors) this kayitz (summer)! This will be my eighth summer at camp since 2011 when I was in Ilanot, and my first summer as a madrich. For fun, I play soccer, basketball, tennis, and ultimate frisbee. I also play the clarinet, and enjoy spending time outside with my friends. At camp, I played on the Roo ultimate frisbee team and always enjoyed yom sport (color war). I’m looking forward to spending shabbatot at camp, our visit to Six Flags, and personally getting to know each one of you. I can’t wait to be a part of your amazing kayitz ahead!
