After 47 years of friendship Budin and Sternfeld became family. In 2016, Noah’s daughter Rachel and Fred’s son Adam married. Adam and Rachel knew each other from toddlerhood because of their fathers’ longstanding connection. Both Noah and Fred played guitar at the wedding ceremony and they even led the Camp Wise “Motzi” at dinner. In 2018, Adam and Rachel became proud parents of Tommy, who will be 5 years old in May. “He is loving and joyful and perfect,” reflected Sternfeld.
Noah and Fred both hope that Camp Wise will continue doing what it does best – laying the foundation for lifelong friendships, creativity and meaningful career paths. Fred’s career in theater and Noah’s career in music, theater and now as a Life Enrichment Coordinator for senior adults, were inspired by experiences at Camp Wise. As Sternfeld captured it, “it set the groundwork for who I am today.”

As parents of four Camp Wise campers (all who went on to become CW staff), it felt natural for us to open our home and host international staff on their well earned days off. In the last 10 years, our lives have been blessed by hosting nearly 100 staffers from Israel, England, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and other countries. We still keep in touch with many of these young adults and will
Email wisekids@mandeljcc.org young adults are excited to join Camp Wise each summer and they add so much to our community. We are looking for host families to offer these staff members a place to stay on their days off. Host families may provide transportation, have a bed or couch for staff to sleep and provide meals. Days off are typically from 6 pm one day until 7 pm the next and often from a Friday night to Saturday night.
Please open your home as a host family to our staff between June 16 and August 3.
Camp Wise is proud to have an amazing group of Israeli and international staff this summer. These fantastic
