What Is the Cornerstone Fellowship?
The Cornerstone Fellowship is a nationally recognized leadership program through Foundation for Jewish Camp, designed for experienced Jewish camp staff who play a meaningful role in shaping Jewish life at camp.
As Cornerstone Fellows, these staff members participate in a national retreat with peers from Jewish camps across North America, where they explore best practices for:
- Leading meaningful evening and Shabbat programs
- Creating engaging Jewish rituals and traditions
- Facilitating thoughtful conversations
- Israeli dancing, Mischpachot, and community-building experiences
The goal of Cornerstone is simple but powerful: to help camps strengthen Jewish life by investing in thoughtful, skilled, and passionate young leaders.
Cornerstone at Beber
At Beber Camp, our Cornerstone Fellows are not only leaders in Jewish life, they are camp leaders, period.
In addition to serving as cabin counselors and working in various program areas, Fellows commit extra time and intention to supporting and enriching Jewish experiences throughout the summer. Their presence helps ensure that Jewish life at Beber feels authentic, joyful, inclusive, and woven naturally into everyday camp life.
This fellowship is both an honor and a responsibility, and we’re incredibly proud of the way these staff members continue to grow as leaders while making a meaningful impact on our campers and community. Mazel Tov to our Beber Cornerstone Fellows for Summer 2026!
