Pag«S-THE NEWS-S«pMml>*r. 1962 L’Chaim Camp Is Laughter By L. Louis Albert, ACSW, Director Federation Social Services This month marks the beginning of a new feature for the Federation’s Department/of Social Services. Each day we read in the newspaper of increasing unemployment and how it is affecting larger and larger numbers of white collar workers. Even members of the Charlotte Jewish community have been hurt by the changes in the economy. A part of the Federation’s social services program is geared towards help ing the unemployed person in finding work. By contacting employers throughout Charlotte we attempt to find out about availiable openings. This is the Job Bank part of the program handled by Janice Willett during her twelve hours per week. As another way of assisting people we will now be publishing a monthly list describing people who are looking for work. We ask that if your company has an appropriate opening for a qualified person from the list or if you have heard of open ings with other businesses, Jewish or non-Jewish, please contact Louis Albert or Janice Willett at the Federation of fice at 366-0358. In this way we can bring qualified employees together with businesses that have appropriate openings. Your cooperation is essential in order for this to be effective.

By Adam Bernstein The 1982 version of the Jewish Community Center’s summer day camp can be summed up in three simple statements; camp is laughter, camp is Cary, and most of all, camp is organiz ed chaos. You need only sit in on a day of camp, as I did recently, to understand. Laughter comes as naturally to the children as the sweat on their brows from the summer heat. It can be heard echoing from the locker rooms, from the playground, from the pools, and it is a tell-tale sign that the atmosphere created in camp is one of total enjoy ment. Cary, or Cary B as she is commonly referred to by her staff and campers alike, is Cary Bernstein, the JCC’s Director of Youth Services. She is also known as the Queen “B,” “Captain” Cary, or in official terms the head of the camp. To her counselors Cary is a respected leader with an often caustically sarcastic sense of humor. Her eyes, which are so vividly blue that you might suspect some of the pool’s turquoise water seeped into them from the many dunkings she received at the hands of her staff, mir ror her personality. They glimmer with both pride and enjoyment at the sight of a drama class’ production of ‘*Robin Hood.” Later they flash disdain and ‘ utter disapproval at a counselor who unthinkingly munches on a bagel in front of a herd of campers. The children have a blast. “Children are chaos,” Cary said. “But a lot of the suc cess at camp is spontaneity and doing things at the mo ment. Camp is supposed to be a relaxed, fun time. So if you say that organized chaos is what it is, that’s true; it is organized chaos.” Much of the most suc cessful activities for the children are those that are born on the spur of the mo ment. You have to pick up on the spontaneous things and run with them. But Cary em phasized that, the important thing is that the activities though they sometimes bear resemblance to battle scenes, are organized. “When it’s not organized, that's when Dr. Haidin E. Rubfai IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THEOPBMNGOFTHE Charlotte Mobile Veterinary Clinic HOUSE CALLS BY APPOINTMENT PLEASE CALL 393-AVET (2838) ‘Small” cookout for “Smallfry” campers. Photo/Cary Bernstein your good good you get into trouble,” she said. Cary is quick to point out that the major source of this spontaneous behavior and its consequent positive, light-hearted effect on the camp’s atmosphere is her collection of creative staff members. “Camp is staff. If you’ve got a staff, you’ve got a camp. And we have an ex cellent staff,” she said. “They are all, without excep tion, outstanding. They’re great for the kids, they’re creative, they’re spon taneous — they’re just wonderful.” Indeed, this summer’s day camp is a product of its staff’s talents and collective imaginations. The tone of the day’s events is dictated com pletely by the counselors and their enthusiasm, their con cern and sense of respon sibility for each individual camper, their creativity, and their ever-present wild senses of humor. The result is a fun, circus like atmosphere, one where a regimented schedule of events would be about as natural as a palm tree on an Alaskan tundra. A day at the camp is not recalled in terms of what was done where and at what time, but rather in memories of certain scenes or noises — a child’s face, a pattern on a bathing suit, or the taste of a grape drink. Arrival at camp in the morning is a splash of colors on little bodies. Several clumps of children are spread across the upper parking lot, each encircling a counselor. Cary barks sporadic orders: “Okay K No.2. Let’s Go!” while a kindergartner peers into another’s bag and exclaims “Oh my God, you’ve got a lot of stuff in your bag.” Day-opening ceremonies begin with the recital of both the Sh’ma and the Pledge of Allegiance. It takes six campers to hold up the American and Israeli flags before the group. A collec tion of responsive chants is led5 by a loud, excited counselor who weaves in and out of the group yelling variations of the phrase “When I say , you say — —The children, with days of obvious practice under their belts, reply to each command with drill-team ac- curacy; if he says “breakdown,” the campers let out a collective grunt; if he says “sizzle,” the campers hiss like snakes; if he says ‘‘Disco down,” the campers dance and toot like (Continued on Page 14) More than a tiirnitLirc st( >rc!
