This past weekend, we were proud, honored, and thrilled to welcome Camp CAR to OSRUI. Camp CAR is a year-long partnership with Cooke Magnet Elementary School in Waukegan, IL. NFTY teens volunteer in Waukegan, IL throughout the year, and then welcome elementary school campers to a weekend planned and led by NFTYites at OSRUI. Campers who otherwise wouldn’t get to experience summer camp have the opportunity to meet teen counselors eat three nutritious meals a day, and enjoy activities such as music, hiking, arts and crafts, cooking, and a variety of sports and team building activities – all for free!

We are so proud of the incredible, life-changing impact our NFTY teens are having on our local community and our world!
