Is it morning? Night? Excuse us, we’re not quite sure because today we’ve jumped into one of our favorite childhood books: Goodnight Moon. Campers and staff are dressed in pajamas (really, the only appropriate attire for a day like this) and Division Heads are dressed like the cows that jumped over the moon. There are some sheep wandering around as well. (Just don’t try to count them.) When we arrived to the Dining Hall, we felt as if the page came to life right in front of us.
Although many were wearing pajamas, there was no time to snooze because Camp Simcha Special had an crazy carnival! Brought by our friends from Goldman Sachs, campers had a great time going from exciting booth to exciting booth. Campers had their faces painted and picked up some freshly-popped popcorn along with some sweet slush. They jumped on the moonwalk, slid down a giant inflated slide and danced in an inflatable filled with foamy bubbles. Armed with soaked sponges, campers aimed at a counselor’s face and hit her target. Campers then made their way to the dunking booth where they threw balls at a red target. If they hit the target, they heard the gratifying “clunk” as the person suspended over a tank of water got soaked. At another booth, campers attached to harnesses jumped on trampolines and flew high above the crowd. There were many many other great booths and activities, each of which promised some serious fun.
