On the inaugural episode of Shalom Union Institute, we asked our chanichim (campers) to share what was going through their minds as they arrived at camp this summer. From excitement to a little nervous energy, their answers capture the spirit of opening day.

Be sure to like and follow Shalom Union Institute. We’ll be sharing new podcast episodes three times a week all summer long, featuring camper stories, staff insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at life at camp.
