The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is the leading international conservation organization focused solely on Africa. They believe that protecting Africas wildlife and wild landscapes is the key to the future prosperity of Africa and its people and for over forty-five years they have made it their work to help ensure that Africas wild resources endure. They have witnessed the draw of tourists to their land. And, they have come face-to-face with the sometimes destructive consequences of sharing land with Africas wildlife.

AWF believes that a continent as unique as Africa requires a unique approach to conservation. It is simply not enough to develop initiatives to protect single species or conserve individual pieces of land. In 1961, African Wildlife Leadership Foundation, Inc. was founded at the height of the African Independence movement to help newly independent African nations and people conserve their own wildlife. Since then, this organization, has played a major role in ensuring the continued existence of some of Africas most rare and treasured species, including the elephant, the mountain gorilla, the rhinoceros and the lion.

These relationships are an integral part of the Camp Mountain Chai experience of fun-filled activities incorporating Jewish rituals, dance, songs and Israel. For some campers, Mountain Chai is their only Jewish experience; for others, it is a reinforcement of their ongoing commitment to Judaism. Their pluralistic, inclusive approach reaches out to all campers with respect and understanding. Camp Mountain Chai is the realization of a dream of a number of committed leaders in the San Diego Jewish community.
