ADL’s Camp IF is an intensive leadership training program that introduces
participants to interfaith dialogue and understanding. The program begins with a dynamic and interactive training, followed by the Camp IF retreat in a beautiful camp setting where participants begin to learn
these leadership skills.
What ParticipantsWill Gain:
• Learn about each other’s religions.
• Explore conceptions and misconceptions that they may hold about one another.
• Build a community committed to respectful coexistence and understanding of different traditions.
• Develop leadership skills that will enable them to become agents for positive social change in their
respective communities.
• Build friendships and have a great time participating in fun social and recreational activities!
The Unique Camp IF Experience:
Muslim, Christian and Jewish adult facilitators, who are knowledgeable about and sensitive to the
respective religions, lead and supervise all participants.Additionally, the program is enhanced through the
leadership of Teen Facilitators who, high school students themselves, are graduates of ADL’s Camp IF.
During the residential portion of the program, men and women live in cabins in separate areas of the
campgrounds. All religious and dietary needs will be accomodated.
Upon returning home, participants work together in Regional Action Teams to create and implement social action projects that build bridges of interfaith understanding among members of their communities. This program provides participants with a unique opportunity to become leaders devoted to strengthening our communities and building a future rooted in respect and understanding.
