Walk the Plank Matey!

August 15, 2014Leave a Comment

Today right after breakfast we were greeted by a roaring surprise…A HELICOPTER!!! Every camper was taken up in the helicopter for a scenic tour of the local area.

The theme of the day today was pirates and true to form, I saw many of the aforementioned rascals of the high seas wandering around camp. It got to the point that after lunch we found outside the front office a series of wanted posters offering various rewards for these criminals. Accordingly we had a special activity in which we hunted down these criminals(They had very devious hiding places among them laundry bags and garbage cans) and executed upon them the sentence of WALKING THE PLANK(into the lake)!!!

I spotted a massive flour fight going on by challah baking after the special activity, it looked like a lot of fun.

Shabbat Shalom

P.S. A big shout out to the guy that hid in a laundry bag while we were hunting for pirates. That was amazing!DSC_9983 DSC_9966
