CELEBRATING 95 YEARS OF CAMP RISING SUN

 
 

Join us October 24-26, 2025 at the TWA Hotel in NYC to celebrate our 95th Anniversary with two special events: our Reunion + Charitable Gala! We’re thrilled to be honoring Bill Dubey and Helene Mattera at our gala on Saturday, October 25, for their decades of vision and service.

It will be an unforgettable weekend of reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, and rallying around LAJF’s mission. Learn more about the milestone weekend here.

Help us commemorate 95 years of inspiring youth and building global leaders!
