In just five nights, our Taste of Coleman campers soaked up the sunshine, built lasting friendships, and dove headfirst into the magic of camp. From the joy of our pool party with Kochavim to cookies and milk at Amy’s house, every moment was filled with wide-eyed wonder and big belly laughs.

One of the most beautiful things we saw? The return of so many campers who’ve joined us for multiple TOC sessions this summer. Watching those familiar faces welcome new friends, take the lead in group games, and show off their favorite spots around camp made it clear—camp confidence grows fast when you find your place.

We also launched a brand-new tradition we hope to see again: Machon/Taste Buddies! Our Taste campers were paired with members of our Machon staff-in-training program to make candy sushi, share stories, and create some truly sweet memories.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our stellar staff—the heart of this experience. Their warmth, creativity, and love for each camper turned four short nights into something unforgettable.

Taste of Coleman may be small in size, but it’s big in heart. And for many of these campers, this was just the beginning.
