Summer 2020 Activities, Videos, Resources, and More!

Even though we weren’t able to gather together at “Our Summer Place” in 2020, we found that the Camp Barney Medintz community is stronger than ever. We wanted to make sure there was one place where you can keep track of everything that the Camp Barney team and community created for Summer 2020.

For information about the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 Summer sessions, please see our Cancellation Announcement.

Ongoing Events

S’Bread The Love Challenge

We could all use a little more connection these days. Our talented and wonderful chefs from the Old City Kitchen started the S’Bread The Love challenge to encourage members of the CBM community to bake Challah for their friends, family, and neighbors in the CBM community. If you want to start the challenge (or if you’ve been challenged), all you need to do is:

Bake 2 Challah
Deliver each to a CBM family (please maintain social distancing)
Snap a photo and share to Facebook (use the hashtag #SBREADTHELOVE and tag @CampBarneyMedintz)
Challenge them to S’Bread The Love

We’ve got a challah recipe available for you here. Wendy Fox and Meredith Hegarty have created a great video to walk you through the process of making Challah.

CBM Community Art Project

All summer, CBM Campers, Staff, and Alumni can take part in a massive community art project. We’re making a giant community tree where each leaf is contributed by a member of the Camp Barney community. You can contribute as many leaves as you want!

There are three different ways that you can create a leaf for the community tree. With the traditional media option, you can print out a template of the leaf and draw in your artwork or design using crayons, colored pencils, or markers. If you’d like to pursue a more green option, you can use the digital painting option and create your design on a phone, tablet, or computer. If you’d rather express yourself with photographs, you can pursue the photo editing option. Check out this video about the project!

Traditional Media Instructions

Download and print out the traditional media template.
Draw in your design or artwork with crayons, colored pencils, or markers. If you want to get really crazy you can even use paints or watercolors!
Anything outside of the lines will not be included in the project.
Scan your finished image (or take a picture if you don’t have a scanner) and send it to Summer@CampBarney.org.

Digital Painting Instructions

Download the digital media template.
Open the template in a coloring app like PicsArt Color Paint (available for iOS or Android) or Microsoft Paint
Color in the leaf with a design or drawing that makes you think about Camp Barney.
Anything outside of the lines will not be included in the project.
Save your finished image and send it to Summer@CampBarney.org.

Photo Editing Instructions

Download the photo editing template.
Open the template in a photo editing app with support for transparency and layers (like Photoshop or GIMP).
Add whatever other content you’d like (photos, drawings, etc) and send the new content to the layers below the template.
Save your finished image as a JPEG or PNG file and send it to Summer@CampBarney.org.
