STORYLINE:
In California, a summer sleepaway camp serves as a haven for Jewish children of color.

"Camp Be'chol Lashon is a camp for Jews of color. Be'chol Lashon actually stands for it in every tongue or in every language. And the mission of the camp is to provide a safe space for a diverse variety of Jews and to educate Jews on the multicultural experience." said Satya Sheftel-Gomes, who has been coming the camp since she was 11 and is now one of the camp counselors.

Its founders say it’s the only sleepaway summer camp specifically serving Jewish children of color, creating a safe space for candid conversations on race and identity.

For over the past 14 years it has functioned as an extended family for campers who are often the only Jewish child of color in their hometown or treated more as a curiosity than a full-fledged member of Jewish or Black communities.
