Alumni Happenings

IMPACT DAY

SUNDAY, MAY 15 • 1-4 PM

Impact Day is coming soon! Alumni are invited to sign up to return to Taylor Wells Road to give back to the place that gave us so much! We’ll hear an update from the full-time team about the state of camp and plans for our 115th summer that campers and staff won’t forget. We will then head out to work on projects intended to help get camp ready for the summer season, including preparing gardens, cabins, clearing trails and more! Pre-registration is required as we plan for a safe environment for all who wish to attend. We hope you’ll join us! To sign up, please register via www.campwise.org/impactday.

Looking for other ways to support Camp Wise this spring? You can support camp from home in these three ways!

• Make a tax-deductible donation to Camp Wise. • Purchase an item or two off of our Amazon Wish List and give back to CW with the purchase of supplies needed for the summer. • Camp Wise is kicking off the first RTCWN Drive (Random Things Camp Wise Needs). You ask, what are these random things? Well, we will accept donations of: – Empty toilet paper rolls – Plastic bags from stores – Styrofoam trays from when you buy veggies at your local grocery store Bring these with you to Impact Day or the Mandel JCC (labeled Attn: Camp Wise) until May 26.

Volunteer Camp Doctors Needed Host Families

Another opportunity to support Camp Wise this summer is by volunteering to be a camp doctor. Our camp health center is staffed 24 hours a day with registered nurses and a health center manager. We are looking for doctors who can be “on call” by phone to speak with the camp nurses and arrange to come to camp three times during their call week to see campers on site.

Please call the camp office to help! 216-593-6250 CALLING ALL CAMP FAMILIES!

There are many wonderful ways for our camp alumni, families and friends to help us make our summer successful. One is by hosting some of our international staff on their day(s) off. This summer we have staff joining us from countries including Israel, Mexico, Columbia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Turkey, Australia and the UK. Days off this summer will occur throughout the week, including Shabbat, from June 14-July 31, 2022.

Curious as to the expectations of a host family?

• Provide a place to stay during their time off, including a bed/air mattress and meals while in your home • Provide transportation to and from camp. Ability to provide transportation/show Cleveland landmarks is even better! • Host families are asked to follow Camp Wise’s vaccination policy as stated at www.campwise/covid/ If you are interested in being a 2022 host, please reach out to us at wisekids@mandeljcc.org.
