SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS Grade 5 through High School
Sarah, a once-reserved fifthgrader, was hesitant about attending OU Israel's Camp Dror Program.
Born to a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father, Sarah had limited exposure to her Jewish heritage. In our program, she discovered a welcoming community that helped her embrace her Jewish identity.
Sarah's newfound confidence and connection to her roots continue to enrich her life and the lives of her family members.
