Welcome to the Grinspoon Institute for Jewish Philanthropy’s Conference Website.

Telling Our Stories

Storytelling is a tradition as old as the Jewish people and it is at the heart of the camp experience. Through the lens of our dual storytelling traditions, GIJP Conference 2010 will focus on the continued growth and success of the Jewish overnight camping movement. The future we envision lives in the stories we tell. The Conference aims to enliven our stories, hone the talents of the people who tell them, improve the tools we use to deliver them, and meet the needs of the many, varied audiences who are listening to them. Join us to discover the transformative power of storytelling for your camp.
