This special issue on Jewish education at Jewish summer camps celebrates that
increase and calls attention to the variety of educational questions that researchers
have begun to explore. This issue focuses on five educational questions about Jewish
camps:
(1) Of all the ways that Jewish camps make Israel visible to campers and younger
staff, which most capture their attention?
(2) What makes Shabbat at camp a powerful learning experience for older campers?
(3) What motivates veteran counselors to return to camp?
(4) How do campers with disabilities experience inclusion within camp activities?
(5) What were many Jewish camps like before they focused on their Jewish mission?
