Thank you to everyone who joined us for a super sweet, maple-syrup filled day at Camp Rising Sun over the weekend! Click for photos from this year’s Winter Camp Day.
One of our program goals is to bridge the gap between people across cultural barriers. CRS camper Vidita learned a powerful lesson that reflects the impact of creating a feeling of interconnectedness between people.
Our hope is that campers will carry forward the lessons they learn while they are here. Aiden realized that our process of growing takes time— it doesn’t just happen overnight. It is continuous, and like a seed that we plant, it is something we will continue to nurture.
Before attending Camp Rising Sun’s virtual program, Diyora wanted to find a way to help develop her confidence. She was looking forward to learn new skills and to have an outlet for her newfound interests in philosophy and economics.
We are excited to announce the winners of the 2023-24 GEJ Scholarship Awards! These recent CRS alums, staff, and volunteers embody the values of leadership, excellence, and commitment to social justice across a variety of fields and disciplines. We congratulate them on their past achievements and wish them well in their future endeavors!
The CRS Alumni Forum was developed this past summer and rolled out to all alumni at the end of July. Since going live, the Forum has gained nearly 500 members and approximately 2,600 posts on a variety of topics relevant to our community. The following is a behind-the-scenes view on the project to build the Forum by three alumni on the Alumni Relations Committee: Sarah Uttermann-Merritt (’02, ’03, ’12-’15), Orian Marx (’97, ’98), and Inna Kuvich, (’01, ’02, ’06).
