Ezra’s Army: Ezra Federman Memorial Campership Fund

Ezra Federman was an outstanding young man who truly embodied the values of North Woods Camp and participated in the Leader-in-Training (LIT) Program during the summer of 2017. In March of 2018, Ezra passed away following a long and courageous battle with leukemia. To honor Ezra, gifts made in his memory will support camper scholarships to North Woods and the LIT Program so that others may experience the positive impact of camp, just as Ezra did.
