Hi, my name is Ryan Borenstein and this is my 5th summer on staff at Kadimah. I have been at camp since I was a Gibby and have moved up through all the sections. I spent my first 3 years on staff in Machar and waterfront, and last summer I had a great time on Tzofiut. This summer, we have some great new ideas for the camp programme and I can't wait to be back at The Corner with everyone.
See you soon in a couple of weeks !!

Canoe Director 2010 !
Ever since my early days as a young Macharnick, my sights have been set on holding the position of Canoe Director at Camp Kadimah . I started at Kadimah in 2003, and continued through CIT and Kadimah Israel. My father was a tripper in his camping days, and my older brother, Adrian, was the camp Canoe Director in 2006 – it seems that canoeing is in the Cohen’s genes! I am privileged to now share my passion, enthusiasm, and skills with the campers during peulah. I am completing my third year of the Honours Bachelor of Commerce Degree at McMaster University (DeGroote School of Business, and after graduation, hope to pursue a CA designation, coupled with an MBA degree.
I can't wait to see everyone at the most valued and popular peulah of the summer !

Letter From All Three Kochot Section Heads !
Hey Kochot 2010!
My name is Mikey Fox and I am the Kochot section head for this summer. I am super excited about camp and cannot wait to work with the new "K-team", the assistant section heads for this summer, Dara Koplowitz and J. "Josh David" D.
I have been going to Kadimah since I was an 8 year old Gibbie, and every summer of my life that I can remember since then involves camp Kadimah in some respect. Whether spending summers in Nova Scotia, or experiencing Israel with my friends from Kadimah, the memories and friends that we make in our little nook of Nova Scotia really can, and do last a lifetime. I cannot wait for just over a month from now, when the entire camp is full of people to create another incredible summer!
Le'hitraot & see you soon,
Mikey
Hey Kochot!
This is JD. I can't believe that it is almost time for camp again! This summer is going to be an amazing one. I am so excited to be an assistant section head! Together with Mikey and Dara, I know that we will make this summer one of the greatest for you. I have been a part of the Kadimah family since 1999, and I have been lucky enough to be staff in Kochot for my last two summers at camp. Camp Kadimah has always been such a special place to me and I am looking forward to making many memories this summer with all of you.
If you can't find me on the shores of Lake William, then you can most likely find me on the shores of the Bay of Fundy in Wolfville, NS, where I go to Acadia University. I just finished up my third year at Acadia, where I am completing my Bachelor in Music and also acting as the Jewish Student Association's President. While not in Wolfville, I am home in Halifax with my family.
I hope you all enjoy the last few weeks of school and best of luck with exams if you have any. I am counting down the days!
Josh "JD" David
Last but not least ...
Hi Kochot!
This is my 10th summer at Camp Kadimah and my 3rd summer working in the Kochot section! This summer I'm mostly looking forward to organizing and running new fun and creative programs for the Kochot section, that not only will be entertaining but will also prepare Kochotnicks for their future summers in Machar. Having been a staff member in Kochot and more recently Machar, I believe I have the skills and experience to help campers with this transition to older sections while enjoying their time in the Kochot! I am so looking forward to seeing old faces around the section and meeting new staff and campers! Let the camp countdown begin!

Letter From The Goshie Section Heads !
Welcome to the world of Goshrim!
We are really excited to be returning to camp this summer as the Goshrim section heads. We look forward to having a tonne of fun with all the campers. Having already been staff together, we can assure you that your kids will have nothing but fun stories to report.
Let us introduce ourselves.
Michael Cappell - I have been staff at camp for 3 years. Last summer, I was the assistant Giborim section head. The previous summers I was staff in both Gib and Gosh. I am currently studying at McGill University, but this past semester has been extra special because I have had the privilege of studying abroad in Hong Kong. While living overseas, I traveled to many different countries. While I'm having a great time abroad, I am looking forward to coming to camp and being "home" again.
Marli Stein - Hi! My name is Marli Stein, and I'm thrilled to be returning to camp this summer as one of your Goshrim Section Heads! This is my 12th summer at Camp Kadimah, and what better way to spend it than by returning to the section I first started in at camp! I am currently pursuing an Honours Specialization in Anthropology at the University of Western Ontario, and will be returning to London this year to finish up my degree. Camp is a very special place to me, and I can't wait to spend my summer playing with the Goshies!
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!!!
Let's talk about camp this summer- it's going to be a packed one, we've got loads of fun activities and exciting excursions planned. As long as the campers come ready for adventure and laughs, we can promise a fantastic summer! Can't wait to meet all of you at camp!

Letter From The Gibbie Co-Section Heads !
Welcome to Giborim 2010!!!!
The countdown is on for the 2010 Camp Kadimah adventure! We’ve been busy getting ready all year and now the time is finally here. This summer, the Giborim section takes on the theme Treasure Hunters! Campers will have the chance to create a treasure box that they can fill with puzzle pieces throughout the summer. Who knows what the pieces will become or where they’ll lead you?!
We’re really excited to see some of our favourite activities from past summers returning and even more thrilled to be introducing some really innovative programs. We’re so excited that we’ve already gotten started planning out all the ways to make this the best summer ever!
Get ready for an exciting summer that will be filled with sports, singing and dancing, water activities, Jewish programs and so much more.
We can’t wait to see you at camp!
Maddie Axelrod and Nathan Pink
Co-Giborim section heads
Welcome to Camp Kadimah's Blog 2010
Welcome to Camp Kadimah’s blog- a spot to talk about one of our favorite things- Camp, of course!
As you might already know, all campers at Kadimah this summer will choose most of each day. Some of this choosing will happen online before camp, and others will be chosen the day before or even the same day, so that what you do can reflect what you are feeling like learning and having fun with at that particular time!
There are tons of things that we’ll be doing at camp this summer from arts and crafts, tons of different sports(tennis, soccer leagues for world cup, softball, basketball, pickup games for different sports after dinner, and sportsleagues for girls, guys, and co-ed, water ski, wakeboard on our new wakeboard tower, canoe, sailing, fishing, gymnastics, yoga, tye dye, dancersize, guitar- and so so much more!
Last summer one of my favorite things to do was to get involved in some of the programs myself. I’ll let you in on a few things that I have been talking about with some of the staff in preparation for this summer:
Iron chef for all: Yes, I and some other staff, are preparing for you to participate in some crazy cooking classes! This program will be a regular choice for Macharniks, and will also be on offer for every section during the summer at least once. We’ll make fun and exciting things to add to our delicious camp meals such as wontons for wonton soup, spanokopita, samosas, and special stuffed challahs!
Kadimah vegetable patch: It’s an amazing thing for us to get involved in growing things ourselves- we can be sure it’s organic, local and fresh. I have already started growing lettuce, herbs and tomatoes to be ready for transplanting into our new Kadimah garden during the first few days of camp. We’ll enjoy the fruits of our labour during the summer and plant new seedlings to enhance our crops!
Guest stars at Shirkud: While our Shirkud director is coming to us direct from Israel, did you know that we have 3 former shirked directors on our senior staff this year? Assistant Kochot Section head, JD; driver Noah Pascoe, and Director Joanna Wexler have all run Shirkud and we are all looking forward to guest star days on the pavilion and in the RCC! Rickabamboo anyone?
Counting the days.....
