This book describes the events surrounding the establishment and
build-up of an innovative approach to a Jewish summer sleepaway
camp experience. The events described in the book took place during
the five summers of 1999-2003. Kibbutz Yarok served as an adjunct
to its sponsor Camp Newman, located in the Santa Rosa mountains of
northern California. Newman is one of fourteen summer sleepaway
camps supported and supervised by the Union for Reform Judaism. The
kibbutz was an experiment in Jewishly inflected outdoor living. It
was designed to be a cooperative, eco-friendly enterprise
inhabited, built, and managed by teenaged Newman campers who chose
to volunteer for the assignment. The author of the book lent his
financial support to the venture via annual grants and made
periodic on-site visits for the purpose of monitoring progress.
