Welcome to the new MoshavaWildRose.org! We hope you love the new look and feel of the site as much as we do. We are pleased to announce some of our newest features:

• The Camp Moshava Blog where parents and campers can read posts written by our tzevet and roshei tochnit.
• Moshava Public Radio where parents can tune in, listen and subscribe to podcasts written and produced by the chanichim of Camp Moshava.
• An alumni section where former members of Camp Moshava can view old pictures, connect with old friends, and sign up to receive updates about camp.
• A media section where we will be posting videos and pictures throughout the summer.
• A new online registration system which will allow parents to quickly and easily register their children for camp. Returning families will receive a login/password via email and they will be able to go into the system where most of the data that would need to be entered onto the form will already be filled out for them. More information about our online registration system can be found here.

Take some time to look around the site and be sure to let us know what you think. Send any feedback or questions to [email protected], and make sure to join our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter!

Camp Moshava is proud to announce that Rabbi Danny Kroll has accepted the position of Rosh Machal for summer 2010. Rabbi Kroll, who will be taking his second run as Rosh Machal, is a Moshava lifer and will come to camp accompanied by his wife Shira, daughter Rayli and G-d willing another baby, who will be arriving in the near future.

“I had such a good time as Rosh Machal back in ’08” Rabbi Kroll told us in an exclusive interview, “You just cant beat the magic of The Hill, I can’t wait to get back up there.” Rabbi Kroll isn’t the only one excited for summer 2010, his chanichim have been preparing for Machal since the end of this past summer. Check out the Moshava Minute below to see highlights of their practice run at the hill.

The entire Moshava family would like to thank all of the parents and chanichim for such a great summer. As usual, we have already begun the planning for the upcoming summer and we hope you will join us in making it as fantastic as this past one was.

Several hundred visitors converged on Camp Moshava Sunday afternoon and, despite a brief downpour of rain, enjoyed a day of fun activities and visiting with their campers. They also enjoyed hearing about Camp Moshava’s plans for its next two major capital improvements: a new gymnasium and a new swimming pool.

Seed funds have enabled the camp to move substantially forward on the gym project; the groundbreaking is planned for this month, with a goal of having the gym ready for Summer 2005. The pool is planned for Summer 2006 pending sufficient fundraising.

To date, the capital campaign, which has been in the works for several years, has raised more than $500,000 in pledges, more than 60 percent of which has been collected. For the gym to be finished and the new pool to be built, the camp has established a goal of $1 million overall.

Camp Moshava wishes to thank our Board of Trustees and the following seed donors whose vision and extraordinary generosity have helped us move to the next phase of turning the dream of this facility into a reality:

Rachel and Michael Stein
Gale and Eric Rothner
Joan and Shael Bellows
Rita and Howard Geller
Barbara and Steve Geller
Beth and Bradley Alter
Debbie and Marc Geller

PROJECT DETAILS

Gymnasium
The 75’ x 120’ air-conditioned gym will feature two smaller basketball courts and one full-size court; a multi-purpose room for shiurim, programs, and general use; boys’ and girls’ bathrooms; and a lower level storage/emergency shelter.

In addition to the benefiting the general camp program, this facility will also be invaluable on rainy and extremely hot days.

We look forward to the gymnasium’s targeted construction completion date of June 1, 2005.

Swimming Pool
The current pool, built in 1964, is 1600 square feet; the goal for the new pool is a 3400 square foot, non-rectangular pool, which would enable multiple activities (lessons, games, laps, etc.) to take place simultaneously.

The pool would feature several different components, with some designated for recreations free swim, lap swim, lessons, and games. With significantly more space, the new pool would alleviate the stress on the current pool’s limited resources.
