We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! Check out below for some great updates from camp – and one update needed from each family as well!

FALL UPDATE

IMG_1420Please login to your CampInTouch account (via the link at the top of airylouise.org) and navigate to Forms. For each of your children, please complete the Form titled “Camper Fall Update 2015.” This is your chance to verify the school your camper is attending, synagogue affiliation, as well as respond to a few quick questions. Our goal is to have all families complete the Fall Update before December 11.

Survey Results

IMG_0731Thank you to many of our families for completing this past summer’s Camper Satisfaction Survey. This year’s survey was administered to over 8400 families across 71 Jewish camps, with Camps Airy and Louise having one of the highest response rates. We are happy to report that Camps Airy and Louise had extremely high scores when compared against the National Averages. Feedback is always IMG_0851welcome – both constructive feedback as well as kudos. We welcome your input as we continue to grow. Every comment is read and modifications for upcoming summers will be made based on the feedback. In fact, your feedback is welcomed at all times – not just during a survey! Winners of the survey raffle prizes will be contacted this week.

Two of our favorite responses were:
“Thank you for an amazing experience!! This is the best gift we could have given our daughter. Camp Louise encourages individuality and confidence. It gives girls the opportunity to shine in different areas.”

“My kids would give up anything and everything to go to camp. If they had to choose between a vacation or any other thing, vs. going to camp, they would choose Camp Airy. It’s hard to pinpoint the one thing that causes that to happen.”
