T

he boys had worked very hard during the summer camp season.

The head counselor Nani (short for Nesanel) had developed an elaborate system to earn points that led to “valuable” prizes.

There were many ways to earn points. One could learn extra during rest period for example or clean the bunk quickly to free up ten minutes of learning time.

There was also a myriad of chesed projects like the weekly trip to the senior center which gave the boys an opportunity to connect with their elders or the biweekly trip to a camp of special needs boys with whom Nani’s campers could interact and learn.
