Beber Camp Alumni Association is Expanding
We’re looking for volunteers to help build and update our alumni database, join event committees to help plan programming, and discuss fundraising opportunities. This will be a great way to accrue community service hours, while helping to build and strengthen our Beber Alumni Community. Contact Joel or Michael if you’re interested in getting involved.
Thank you very much to the generous alumni who have already made a difference this year. We need your help in making camp a reality for campers and their families. Click here to make a donation.
Featured Camper Family: The Fishmans
So really, why do the Fishmans come to camp? Each month, we’ll be featuring a different camper family in an effort to get an unique look inside what it means to be a Beber Camp. Check this out and read more stories about this Chicago family in the camper section of the website...
Staff Profile: Mark Shankman
We work hard in the off-season to hire quality staff from around the world! Many are graduates of our Teen Leadership Program. Last year, Mark was one of our Pioneer Directors and was instrumental in making the new website a reality.
