A letter to the 2020 campers of FLJDC

(Parents: Please give or read this letter to your child.)

To our dear FLJDC camper,
We know many of you from past summers and we look forward to welcoming those of you who are new to our camp family.

As you may already know, camp has been suspended for the summer of 2020 because the FLJDC program, trips and pool that so many children and parents have come to love over the years would not be possible and safe this summer due to Covid-19.

We worked very hard to see what can be done to keep the FLJDC spirit alive in 2020.  We tried to open JewishMiniCamps, which seemed to be a good option for this summer. But sadly, we were not able to make that work out either.

We really wanted to give you a great camp experience this summer, but as you know, the only way to have fun is to first make sure it is completely safe. And since we can’t guarantee that, we decided that it's better to wait until next summer to enjoy camp again.

We will really miss the great times we always have, the camp spirit, exciting trips, connections with our counselors, and new friendships, overnights, songs, and oh, so much more.

We will be thinking of you all summer and all through the year.

We will be working hard all year to make sure that next summer at FLJDC will G-d willing, be so much more fun and exciting, and will be well worth the wait.

We wish you a safe and healthy summer, and look forward to seeing you very soon! 

Sincerely,
Rabbi Mendel & Elke Zaltzman
