Eden Village Camp: Big Fun, Small Footprint! by Vivian Lehrer
By Vivian Lehrer
Vivian Lehrer believes social justice work is best grounded in love and creative action, and is thrilled to help create an experience for campers that is fun, dynamic, and, just maybe, life-changing. She practiced many other forms of activism before dedicating herself full-time to Eden Village Camp. After graduating from Columbia University and Columbia Law School, Vivian received a two-year fellowship to carry out a legal project of her design. She represented survivors of domestic violence in court, led trainings and community organizing efforts, and was inspired and humbled by the immense commitment and vision she witnessed from people unwilling to accept the injustice and poverty that may surround them. Vivian has served as adjunct professor at Boricua College and led Jewish service-learning trips for teens in Israel and New Orleans. Her interest in wellness led her to attend the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and she brings a holistic perspective to Eden Village.
