Names were meant for
identification. That’s why
AJECO MCE Day Camp campers
have six of them.
That’s right, six names. The
purpose is to reinforce not only
personal but also group and
Jewish identification. Along with
their English names all campers
are given a Hebrew name (many
know theirs already).
The main goal, according to
Camp Director Joel Gross, is to
help the 800 campers this summer
become both comfortable with and
proud of their Jewish heritage.
One way is through the use of the
Hebrew language. It is hoped that
the child’s curiosity will lead to
spin off projects such as finding
out what Biblical character or
family member he or she is named
after. Other uses of Hebrew at
AJECOMCE Day Camp include
swim groups named after the
12 tribes and buses named after
cities in Israel.
Campers have group names
also. Traditional English names
such as “Lions,” “Tigers," and
“Bears" (Bad News or otherwise)
have their Hebrew counterparts.
With six names to identify with
this summer it will be difficult for
anyone at AJECOMCE to get
lost—literally or spiritually.
