Cornerstone 2026

In this track, we will use a queer lens to explore practical ways to create spacious, inclusive, supportive, and holy camp opportunities and communities where every camper and staff member is seen, valued, and honored. We will be guided by the Jewish idea of B'tzelem Elohim: we are all created in the image of holiness. We will do this using meditation, journaling, text study and MORE! This session is for LGBTQIA+ Fellows.

In this track, we will explore themes of Social Justice through a Jewish lens by way of games, art, experiences, and text, and how to integrate these themes into camp programming.

In this session, we will explore the rich potential of camp's quieter spaces: listening to nature, practicing mindfulness and reflection, approaching rest creatively, crafting space for deep conversation, cultivating the leadership of our introverts, and so much more.

In this session, we will explore the world of younger campers - joys, challenges and approaches to working with the youngest members of our camp communities.
