COJECO BluePrint Fellowship Project
The first Mishpucha Camping was made possible by the COJECO BluePrint Fellowship - a highly selective year-long program for Russian-speaking Jewish adults ages 25-40 to explore personal and collective identity through the creation of community projects.
The Fellowship begins with a 3-day weekend retreat followed by exciting workshops throughout the year where the fellows meet other talented thinkers and social activists, gain a new perspective on the community’s historical context, learn new skills, and network with BluePrint alumni. In addition to being paired with a personal project mentor, each fellow is awarded a mini-grant of up to $5,000 for the implementation of a community project.

Testimonials
On behalf of all seven families in our group (kids and parents alike) I want to thank you for organizing this great camping experience! All of us had a great time and enjoyed the park, and all of the activities of the Mishpucha. Even though this weekend came and went rather quickly, and all the agenda items (except for the rain) went seamlessly, all of us are aware of the careful planning that must have taken place to make it all happen. Therefore we sincerely thank you and all your friends for the time, effort, patience, and ingenuity in connection with this trip. |
Thanks a lot for the great weekend! I think, everything was very nicely thought of and well organized. We liked all of the planned activities… Our toddler had great fun with the arts and crafts and the sing- along. We would love to do it again. …Once again, thank you, guys, for your effort, good humor and great attitude. Despite the rain, we had a really good time! |
