Camp Kesher: A Fun-filled Weekend of Jewish Experiences

Open to all who seek to deepen family, friendship, and spiritual connections in the context of a Reform Jewish experience.

Scholar-in-Residence
Dr. Mark Washofsky
Labor Day Weekend:
Friday, September 3 – Monday, September 6, 2010
Vashon Island, Washington
We are modifying our normal Friday noon start because most area schools are starting before Labor Day this year. Plan to arrive for a 5 PM starting time. Closing circle will be after lunch on Monday.

Dr. Ron Wolfson has written a series of books on the Art of Jewish Living. Beginning with “The Shabbat Seder” in 1985, he has authored eight books, most recently “G-d’s To-Do List.” As Director of the Education Department at American Jewish University, Dr. Wolfson pioneered programs in Jewish education, creating the Educational Resource Center (ERC). He helped create the Whizin Center for the Jewish Future, a think tank dedicated to envisioning the future of Jewish life. His latest exciting creation is a graduate seminar in Experiential Education. He and his students have been developing a set of principles describing the components of excellent “experiences” by immersing themselves in the experiences themselves.
