Honoring "Leaders in the Field"

Four "Leaders in the Field" of Jewish Camp were honored with 2nd Annual Grinspoon Awards at the 2011 Grinspoon Institute Annual Conference. Among many deserving nominees, these four honorees stood out for their impact on the ongoing sustainability and vitality of Jewish summer camp.
