Nachum welcomed Eli Gerstner and Rabbi Judah Mischel back to JM in the AM this morning for a comprehensive Camp HASC update and to preview the concert event of 2018, Camp HASC‘s A Time for Music 31. Everyone is invited out to Lincoln Center on January 7, 2018 for one of the biggest nights in the Jewish music world. Camp HASC is the award winning summer program of the Hebrew Academy for Special Children. Located in the scenic Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, Camp HASC provides over 300 mentally and physically handicapped children and adults with the opportunity to enjoy a seven week sleep-away camp experience, just like many of their siblings and friends.

Camp HASC is unique in its synthesis of academic and recreational programming. At Camp HASC we seek to maximize the development of each individual’s potential by providing special education, speech, physical, occupational and music therapies as well as computer instruction, adaptive physical education and adaptive aquatics. Hand in hand with their academic program the campers are able to participate in the full range of recreational activities including (but not limited to) sports, swimming, field trips, night activities, roller skating, carnivals, concerts and mainstream social programs with other camps.
