Are We There Yet?
Campfires!
This activity is hot hot hot!
Each division will be spending a night out in tents up by the pool. There will be warm speeches, roasted marshmallows and cozy fires as everyone in camp feels the warmth that Camp Simcha provides: Memories.
Campers will reminisce about their greatest days in camp (every day!), counselors will share their most wonderful moments (every one!) and one and all will smile as the moon shines with just 57 hours and 36 minutes left to the most bestest summer ever…
…yes, “bestest” is not a word but when you are as excited about this summer as we are – it is.
Talent Show: Recap
To discuss each camper’s talents in one blog post would seem ridiculous. It’s practically impossible. It can’t be done.
That leaves me in a pickle.
How do I convey to you the absolute amazingness (is that even a word?) that Camp Simcha featured on its stage last night? Many have tried, the same amound have failed.
Well, since words won’t do the trick… How about we show you a small nugget from last night’s performance?

At this point we’d like to inform you that Zachary only uses fake plastic swords and refraims from practicing when any children are around.
The people in the background are Zack’s family who attended last night’s show. Why were they hiding him for all this time? 🙂
We love you, Zack!
…This was just 1 of the 103 kids here in camp…It just got better and better and better…
Simcha’s Got Talent!
One would think it’s illegal to contain so much talent in a mere 76 acres of land…
Camp Simcha has done the unthinkable.
One night only.
Tonight.
Each and every camper gets their moment of fame on the stage as hundreds of audience members watch in amazement as their jaw drops over and over again.
The talent show features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and other performers of all ages competing for the advertised top prize of FREE CANTEEN! The show debuted in June 1932 for Camp Simcha Special. Starting its 106th season, critics are giving it two thumbs (plus a wheelchair) up!
Tickets have been sold out since last January and can be found on Ebay for prices higher than $10,000! Crazy, I know!
Want to know how it all goes down tonight? Well, you’ll just have to tune in tomorrow morning.
Until then, booya!
Just 48 Hours Left…
to the 2009 Camp Simcha Musical!
We don’t want to give anything away, nor do we want to leave you in the dark but Duvi Spiel-Becker has come up with something so amazing that on Wednesday night – you’re going to want to be nowhere else than Camp Simcha’ Social Hall.
Here’s a taste of last year’s masterpiece:

…47 hours and 59 minutes…
Super Sunday Recap
W-O-W.
That one word sums up last night’s night activity.
We all got together in the gym for an experience of a lifetime as we clapped and drummed away on our very own set of drums… (one for each person!…)
Camper Justice commented,
“Rhythm is innate within us all – the beat of our heart, the way we walk, and the clapping of our hands. We explored the basics of rhythm and music in a fun and interactive way. This workshop gave each participant the experience of being a part of an orchestra or a band – in which each small contribution is vital to the making of something big, grand, and beautiful. Thank you, Drum Cafe!”
After concluding the drum activity, everyone made their way to the Social Hall where they watched in awe as the Head Staff whooped up on the Kitchen Staff in a game of Super Bowl Football (in a pre-recorded show).
Some asked, “When was this game filmed?”, “Where was this game filmed?”, while others asked, “Why was this game filmed?”
Well, to answer:
When was this game filmed? January 5th, 2009. The Head/Kitchen Staff made the trek up to camp to breathe some of that good ol’ Camp Simcha spirit. Too bad we didn’t bring winter coats.
Where was this game filmed? Deep in the forest. Near the Boogey Man’s house. Others would deem this as: “near the baseball field.”
Why was this game filmed? To stop all that bickering (we’re kidding!) between the Head Staff and Kitchen Staff. The Head Staff prevailed 17-14. Ever since, the food has not tasted the same.
Wink!
P.S. – The commercials added to the W-O-W’ness factor. We saw advertisements for Geico by Shuki’s division, Chumus by the Israeli division, Foxwoods by Foxy’s division and even the Library was advertised by the youngest division!
Camp has not yet received the 12 million dollars due to them for these commercials to be made but they’re not crossing their fingers…
See ya all laitah!
