Our Philosophy Mark DiDonato Mark has been working camps at the Levine JCC for 33. This will be Mark s 7th year as Camp Mindy Director. At Mindy Ellen Levine Day Camp, we believe that a summer camp experience can have positive and lasting benefits for your child. Through making friends, participating in an array of activities, learning new skills, being outdoors, and experiencing Judaism, camp becomes a place where campers have fun, grow, and feel good about who they are. Our campers follow a schedule that takes full advantage of all Shalom Park facilities. Our specialists develop their activity centers so that campers have fun experiences, learn new skills, and accomplish realistic goals. Your child will return home at the end of the day with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. After all, that is what camp is all about. At Camp Mindy, we also encourage the expression of feelings and ideas and work with our campers so that they may develop a sense of respect and understanding for the feelings and opinions of others. As a Levine Jewish Community Center program, the Mindy Ellen Levine Day Camp emphasizes Jewish identity and traditions. Through Jewish life experiences and learning about our history and culture, we instill a special feeling of pride in all our campers. A Jewish camp helps ensure that these values and beliefs are transferred to the next generation. Camp Mindy 704-944-6728 3

The social drama of middle school can take its toll on academics, self-esteem and attitudes about school. Our games and activities teach girls the tools they need to navigate the middle school social scene and be the leaders of their own lives. Our tools give the girls confidence to solve their own problems in middle school, and beyond! Our high school interns are great role models, make the activities more fun and help the girls feel comfortable. Your Athena s Path girl discovers that being a leader doesn t necessarily mean being class president. It means solving problems creatively, doing what she believes is right, and staying true to herself. While she plays games, tries new activities, talks confidentially, and giggles, she will learn valuable social skills!
