The Camp Raanana Story

Each year, Camp Raanana takes the day camping world by storm by offering fun nearly every day of the summer (minus the 4th of July and weekends)! It simply doesn’t get much better than this! We offer 8 weeks (each week is a 1 session) at our Chelsea location (including 3 optional overnights), and 1 week at the JCC.

Our Camp Leadership

Camp Director | Nikki Feinberg

Having always loved camp, Nikki is so excited for her first full summer at Camp Raanana! Jewish summer camp has been a part of her life since the age of two when she began her camp experience at the JCC in San Antonio. She was at the San Antonio JCC until the age of eight when she went to sleep away camp at the URJ Greene Family Camp. She spent the next eight summers there before she traveled to Israel with NFTY at the age of 16. Nikki was born in Syracuse, NY, but moved to San Antonio, TX at the age of two months. She attended Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts where she received her Master of Science in Professional Communication and her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology while playing collegiate soccer. Nikki comes to the JCC of Greater Ann Arbor after two years at the Worcester JCC as a Unit Head and a counselor, and four summers at the JCC in San Antonio as the sports specialist and a counselor. She moved to Ann Arbor in August with her boyfriend who is studying to get his PhD in Chemistry. When she's not here at the J, she's the Youth Director at Temple Beth Emeth. Nikki loves working with kids and cannot wait for camp to start!

Why We Host Schlichim

"Hosting Shlichim during the summers remains a wonderful experience for our family. Each year we meet dynamic and fascinating young Israelis with whom we maintain contact long after the summer has gone. Our kids are the greatest beneficiaries of the experience, finding in the Shlichim individuals who they come to regard as older siblings. It is an event we look forward to every year with good reason and plan on continuing for years to come."

Connecting with Israel

“Although it was so new, Israel brought upon me a familiar sense of belonging much like what I feel at Camp Chi every summer. The ability to be in a place where one feels so free and proud to be a Jew is a feeling that makes me so proud to be involved in my Jewish heritage.”

- Joshua Krawitz, 17, Camp Chi, JCC Chicago
