HaMerkaz, a new central hub that will serve as the beating

heart of Jewish life at Camp Sprout Lake

Within its walls, two transformative centers:

The Gaby Barton Wellness Center: A dedicated space for emotional, mental, and social wellness. This sanctuary will include sensory-friendly areas, private Zoom rooms for therapeutic sessions, and a calm, welcoming refuge for anyone in need of support. It’s where campers and staff alike will find the strength to be their best selves.

The Omer Neutra Center for Leadership, Israel, and Jewish Education: This center will embody the core of Sprout Lake’s educational mission. It will be a vibrant space where Jewish identity and connection to Israel are explored and celebrated. Here, campers will learn, ask big questions, and grow. Staff will be trained and inspired as future leaders of our community – all in a setting that honors Omer’s enduring legacy of purpose, passion, and values-driven leadership.

Estimated completion: Summer 2026

Cost: $1.7 Million
