She has years of experience working with children, and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Eastern Michigan University. Informed by Rachel’s expertise, we have built a developmentally appropriate Chaverim program catering to this pivotal time of life for campers and their parents.
