Brendan: SUMMER CAMP ROLLS
ON AND WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THE
FUN TO COME THIS SUMMER
VACATION WITH THE GREATEST
JEWISH ALLIANCE OF RHODE ISLAND.
HERE TO TELL US ABOUT SUMMER
J-CAMP, WE HAVE JESS FINKLE AND
MICHELLE WHO IS THE VICE
PRESIDENT OF PROGRAMMING.
GOOD MORNING, SETH.
GOOD MORNING.
Brendan: MICHELLE, PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU.
LOTS TO TALK ABOUT WITH YOU
GUYS.
I LOVE THE CAMP IDEAS.
CERTAINLY WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT
THE DETAILS OF THAT.
BEFORE WE GET INTO IT, TELL US
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE JEWISH
ALLIANCE OF GREATER RHODE
ISLAND FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T
FAMILIAR.
WE'RE A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION.
WE RAISE MONEY FOR PROGRAMMES
AND SERVICES WITHIN RHODE
ISLAND AND ALSO AROUND THE
WORLD.
AND WITHIN THE JEWISH ALLIANCE,
WE HOUSE A LOT OF OURMENT
PRACTICING SUCH AS THE SUMMER
J-CAMP.
Brendan: YOU'VE DONE GREAT
THINGS.
WE'VE GOT TON KNOW YOU ON "THE
RHODE SHOW" AND YOU ARE UP TO
WONDERFUL THING AND DIFFERENT
EVENTS OF THAT NATURE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A COOL THING.
CAMP IS FOR AGES 3 THROUGH
6TH GRADE AND THEN WE HAVE A
COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING PROGRAMME
WHICH GOES 7TH THROUGH 10TH
GRADE.
AND THEY GO THROUGH A VARIETY
OF ACTIVITIES EACH DAY THAT
INCLUDES SCIENCE, MUSIC, DRAMA,
ARTS AND CRAFTS.
WE DO GYMNASTICS.
THIS YEAR WE'LL BE DOING
AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR.
WE DO SOME ISRAELI CULTURE.
WE DO GET SOMEONE FROM ISRAEL
TO COME AND GIVE KIDS A A
LITTLE BIT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
WHAT ISRAEL IS.
THE NICE THING IS WE'RE
WELCOMED TO EVERYONE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE JEWISH TO
COME.
Brendan: TERRIFIC.
YOU ARE LEARNING SOMETHING AND
HAVING FUN.
IT IS A WIN-WIN.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO REGISTER.
WHEN DOES THE CAMP TAKE PLACE?
SURE.
REGISTRATION, YOU CAN GO ONLINE
TO JEWISHALLIANCERI.ORG.
THERE IS A LINK THERE TO HELP
REGISTER.
CAMP RUNS FROM JUNE 25 THROUGH
AUGUST 25TH --
Brendan: OH, YOU'RE CHEATING.
[LAUGHTER]
I AM.
AND WE DO FIELD TRIP FUN
THURSDAYS AS WELL SO WE GET THE
KIDS ALL AROUND RHODE ISLAND.
Brendan: I UNDERSTAND THERE
IS AN EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT THAT
WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT?
YEAH.
THERE IS AN EARLY BIRD SPECIAL
THROUGH MAY 5.
AND WE ALSO OFFER SOME SIBLING
DISCOUNTS, MULTIPLE CHILDREN.
AND WE KNOW IT CAN GET TOUGH.
AND WE MAKE CAMP AS CONVENIENT
AS POSSIBLE FOR FAMILIES AND
THAT IS OUR BIGGEST GOAL.
Brendan: I THINK, TOO, WHEN
YOU THINK SUMMER CAMP YOU THINK
BEING A CHILD AND GROWING UP.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY
TO MAKE FRIENDSHIPS THAT WILL
LAST A LIFETIME.
YOU COME TOGETHER.
IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT
YOU'RE DOING BUT THE
CAMARADERIE AND THE SPIRIT THAT
YOU ARE CREATING, ISN'T IT?
ABSOLUTELY.
Brendan: FOR YOU, SEEING THE
SMILES ON THE FACES, WE TALK
ABOUT THESE GREAT EVENTS
HAPPENING WITH THE VARIOUS
GUESTS WE HAVE ON "THE RHODE
SHOW".
SEEING EVERYONE HAVE FUN, THAT
MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT FOR YOU,
DOESN'T IT?
ABSOLUTELY.
AND WE DO THINGS BEYOND THE
SUMMERTIME.
SO, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE
PROGRAMME YEAR, WE HAVE J-CAMP
REUNIONS.
CAMPERS GET TOGETHER AT
DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES.
SO THEY REALLY DO FORM GREAT
RELATIONSHIPS.
Brendan: FANTASTIC.
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE
TODAY.
I THINK I LOOK PRETTY GOOD IN
THAT.
A PERFECT FIT FOR YOU.
Brendan: RIGHT THERE.
I'M TAKING IT HOME.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
A PLEASURE.
