Good morning.

My colleague Dan Levin wrote a story about an all-gender cabin at a 90-year-old Jewish summer camp in Groveland, near Yosemite National Park.

I asked him to tell us a little more about the experience of heading back to a sleepaway camp like the ones he went to during his own childhood — only this time, as a reporter:

The Indigo Girls’ hit song “Closer to Fine” crooned through the arts and crafts shack, cluttered with campers’ drying tie-dyed T-shirts and ceramic mugs. Had I suddenly been time-warped back to the summer of 1995?

Sadly, no. But the great thing about sleepaway camp is that pastimes like lanyard bracelets, awkward dances and dodge ball never really change.

When I visited Camp Tawonga, a 90-year-old rustic Jewish sleepaway camp near Yosemite National Park, it felt like returning to the summer camps where I spent many school vacations two decades ago. Almost.
