Do you have a funny, poignant, embarrassing or just plain crazy memory from your time at a Jewish summer camp in Northern California?

Did you meet your best friend? Or maybe your spouse? Break your arm? Pull off the greatest prank of all time? Win the color war in an upset? Discover a talent? Have your first kiss? Experience Judaism in ways you couldn’t have anywhere else?

J. wants your stories! Please keep them to 300 words. Include your name, city of residence, which camp you attended and which years you were there. Send them to [email protected]. And if you have any photos of your days as a camper or counselor, send them along too.

The deadline is Monday, Jan. 12. We’ll include as many stories as we can in an upcoming issue.

J. covers our community better than any other source and provides news you can't find elsewhere. Support local Jewish journalism and give to J. today. Your donation will help J. survive and thrive!
