We had counselors who were focused on us, Clergy who were invested in us... and I had a songleading mentor who spent gobs of time with me... and a camp director who taught me how to do things as an adult/rab student. Everything was a fractal of the larger picture.

Full immersion in an intentional jewish community with caring rabbis, jewish counselors, intentional creation of friendships with peers and modeling of vulnerability and deep connection; beautiful outdoor jewish spaces for prayer and activity; singing in hebrew; birkat hamazon, etc. Campers were encouraged to be leaders; to write their own interpretive tefila and lead them; etc.
