What helps kids bounce back when things don’t go their way? And, how can parents/guardians nurture that strength every day? In this engaging session, we’ll explore how the timeless values woven into Jewish life - community, perseverance, compassion, and reflection - also form the backbone of resilience and grit. Drawing on lessons from Jewish camp experiences, we’ll look at practical ways you can help your children face challenges, recover from setbacks, and grow into capable, confident young people. Join us as the Cohen Camps present an evening of insights, humor, and reflection with Emily Golinsky, a nationally recognized youth development professional and camp expert who has spent years helping youth and staff develop these very skills. Together, we'll explore how camp (and home!) can both be places where resilience takes root.
