Dear CYJ Family,

These last few months have been a whirlwind as we get ready for Summer 2019 in Waupaca. We are deep in the midst of hiring great camp staff and have a wonderful group of Tzevet which we'll be announcing in the coming weeks. Michael Lalla, our Maintenance Director has been hard at work getting camp ready! He's diligently working on a new amphitheater experience, new libraries and lighting around camp.

If you use social media often, you'll have noticed that our Facebook and Instagram pages have been lighting up with daily updates. We are also using the story features which you can find at the top or side of your news feed. We have a brand new Spotify , Twitter , LinkedIn and completely new YouTube Channel. I hope you will check them out.

Been to www.cyjmid.org lately? We have completed a total revamp thanks to our friends at 829 Studios. This new site offers enhanced functionality and a fresh modern feel with rich and beautiful content. Please visit and share it with any families that are looking for a wonderful summer right now and or in years to come!

Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to meeting all of you soon!

Kevin Friduss

Camp Coordinator

The Art of Letting Go

As good parents, we are plagued with doubt. Did we teach them everything we were supposed to? What did we forget? How can we make sure they’re ready, because once they walk out the door...who knows what they’ll need to know? Our teens-only partner camp,

Tel Yehudah, has put together an incredible e-book called The Art of Letting Go. This is a great resource to help us all prepare our teens for what is next.
