Cornerstone 2026

In this session, we will meditate on the cycles (i.e., habits, patterns) that shape our lives, at camp and beyond, exploring the role of repetition and disruption. Participants will be invited to share these reflections by co-creating a collective song or poem through spoken word, singing, or instruments; participation is always optional.

In this track, we will explore techniques to unlock and reveal the hidden songs inside of us so that we can add new awesome meaningful songs to our camps and beyond. Songwriting for everyone!

In this session, we will explore and experience different modalities for counselors and staff to elevate and spiritually-charge otherwise ordinary camp programs, cabin time, trips, and unplanned moments of spontaneity.

In this session, we will experience a Cornerstone tish, breaking down the elements of this informal singing experience, full of tangible takeaways you can bring back to your camp. Tish means table in Yiddish and represents a Jewish communal practice of holy singing, storytelling, and snacking. Some songs will be led by our faculty team and there will be time for some participants to lead songs, too.
