They started out close to home with a truck in North Conway, N.H., before expanding to Portland, Maine, and Portsmouth, N.H. Now there’s a brand-new location at Boston’s Hub Hall, and Harrison — who still lives in North Conway — hopes to add more city locations soon.

The unadjusted prevalence of excellent mental health declined from 38.4 to 25.8 percent; fair or poor mental health rose from 5.5 to 8.5 percent. Importantly, the study assesses parents of newborns all the way up to 17-year-olds, across socioeconomic groups.

In today’s climate, the sanctuary of a Jewish summer camp is more resonant than ever. I chatted with Jamie Simon, interim CEO of the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC), about what’s new for summer camp this year—from programming to counselor training—and learned what families can expect as school fades and summer begins. FJC, with support from CJP, works with more than 300 Jewish summer camps throughout North America on training and professional development designed to meet this moment.
