Director
Noah Gallagher spent many summers as a camper and staff member at CYJ Midwest. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in
Philosophy and Hebrew Studies, Noah became the Assistant Director of Young Judaea's
National Senior Leadership camp, Camp Tel Yehudah, in Barryville, New York. Noah is
very happy to be back home in the Midwest.
Noah is married to Lauren; they met at CYJ Midwest in 1991!
... "CYJ Midwest is a safe place-not just in terms of the physical environment, but a place where campers feel safe to explore, make new friends, learn new things, and take on challenges that help them grow."
Associate Director
2010 will be Robin Anderson's eighth summer at camp. She held a number of positions, including counselor, unit head and program
director before assuming the position of associate director. She has a BA in Jewish Studies and Sociology
from Indiana University and an MA in Jewish Communal Service from Brandeis University. Additionally, Robin has been accepted to the first cohort of the Yitro Leadership Program for assistant and associate directors, funded by the Foundation for Jewish Camp.
Robin is married to Michael and they have a son, Yoni, who will be attending camp starting in 2017.
... "I enjoy seeing the transformations that campers and staff are able to make while they are interacting in a society of their own peers."
The Camp Young Judaea Midwest staff is a tapestry of individuals who bring their own experience and skill to create a community of hard working and dedicated counselors.
Some of our staff have grown up at CYJ Midwest, some have grown up at other camps and some are experiencing overnight camp for the first time.
About one-quarter of our staff are Israeli brought over through the Jewish Agency for Israel. This unique blend enables our staff to relate to
each camper in a way that is meaningful and relevant.
