J Camp counselors learn leadership through service

Leadership at J Camp extends far beyond leading songs, helping younger campers, or organizing games. This summer, members of the J Camp Counselors in Training Program are gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to serve their community through a new partnership with Grace Klein Community’s FeedBHM Hub and Community Outreach Hall.

Saying farewell

After initially serving as our Jewish programming coordinator and then our chief experience officer, Shannon Brasovan has decided to step away from The J. We are grateful for her service and contributions.

We are currently finalizing the next steps for this important role.
