Our very
own Israeli
Ambassadors
Every summer, Camp Hilbert is proud to host
Israeli staff members as part of a cultural
ambassador exchange program. The shlichim
(Israeli emissary) infuse aspects of Israeli culture
into our activities and programs, while bringing
expertise in their specialty areas, and building
connections to the state of Israel.
The shlichim are also here to learn about life in
America. One of the ways in which this is accom-
plished is through being housed by our RVA fami-
lies for 1-2 weeks at a time. Being a host family is
a wonderful and rewarding experience for your
entire family, and a way to form a lifelong con-
nection to Israel! For details on becoming a Host
Family for summer 2018, contact Leslie LaBrie at
(804) 545-8650 or [email protected].
