Assemblyman Dov Hikind Visits Camp HASC from CAMP HASC on Vimeo.

Campers and Staff at Camp HASC in Parksville, NY were thrilled to welcome long time friend, supporter,and advocate, Assemblyman Dov Hikind to Camp this week for a beautiful day together. Assemblyman Hikind patiently met with dozens of staff members and campers, and excitedly described his uplifting visit to Camp HASC as an “experience that defies words”.

Throughout the lengthy, hands-on tour of the campus and programs at Camp HASC, Assemblyman Hikind insisted on spending time and participating in adaptive activities with the special campers, playing ball, visiting classrooms, the boy’s pool, Sensory Room, Therapy and Medical Center. Taking a personal interest in the details of the unique Summer program, Assemblyman Hikind, who made the trip Upstate from Brooklyn especially for his visit, was effusive in his praise of the staff at Camp HASC, and was “absolutely astounded” by the “love, caring, passion and compassion… chesed and giving of everyone” he met.

The meaningful visit was coordinated by Reb Abe Eisner, a dear friend of Camp HASC, who in turn, praised Assemblyman Hikind’s initiative on behalf of the families, campers and program at HASC.

Calling Camp HASC an environment that represents “doing for others with a whole heart”, Assemblyman Hikind encouraged the staff to continue their work “that will bring Moshiach”, thanking everyone at Camp HASC for their “amazing work on behalf of Klal Yisrael”.
