Aaron Selkow is the executive director of URJ Camp Harlam, a Reform Jewish summer camp in Kunkletown, PA, established by the Union for Reform Judaism in 1958 and serving the Mid-Atlantic region with distinction. Aaron is deeply committed to the care of children, both as a professional and as the parent of an extraordinary daughter.
Now a Jewish professional, my basketball experiences were formative. Skills in motivation, mentoring, management, and interpersonal relationships cultivated on the court impact my Jewish work.
I watched the new Wet Hot American Summer hoping to be inspired to continue my work by seeing a representation of some of what I really deal with as a camp director. And because I believe that Jewish camp is the antidote to much of what ails us.
