What's up guys, I'm Sammy! Since I was six years old, I had a longtime dream of running a camp. Fast forward to now, I am so excited to be the Director of Camp Chai! I spent two years learning at Yeshivat Torat Shraga in Israel, followed by three years at Yeshiva University studying Psychology. Now, I'm a graduate student at Wurzeiler School of Social Work. 

 

I've had many years of experience in camps. I've worked as a counselor and Unit Head at the Bernard Horwich JCC, Yeshivas HaKayitz, and Moshav Ba'ir. I also ran many "backyard" camps before and after regular camp sessions. 

 

With the help of my staff, I have developed a strong and meaningful connection with campers and their families, which brings a great community atmosphere to camp. My priority as director is to make sure kids have the best summer, while teaching the value of Torah, sportsmanship, and friendship.
