Gumdrops, lollipops, jellybeans…you guessed it, today was Candy Land day! With a giant size gingerbread man, and girls in candy costumes, camp is a tasty sight. This morning our campers put on a Peter Pan play. Peter pan was played by Jordan, and Tinkerbell by Tzippy. My favorite part of the play was when Tinkerbell was jealous of Wendy, and Peter Pan appeased Tinkerbell. He broke out in One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful”, and sang it to Tinkerbell.The play was a hit! Later in the day, eight of our campers won iPod nanos in a raffle. Our banquet was Candy Land themed, with buffet-style candy platters. Yum! After the banquet, head counselor Rivky thanked everyone individually. The heartfelt thank yous were followed by a tear-jerking video, recapping all of our amazing times here in camp. The night literally ended with a bang, while we watched fireworks. The fireworks lit up the night sky, and our faces. Although camp is over, I will not say goodbye because in Camp Simcha we never say goodbye. I will not even attempt to describe my experience here because, anything I say will not do it justice; it will just belittle it. However, I will tell you that it has changed my perspective on life. Not even in a cliche “live life to the fullest” or “live everyday as if it is your last” way. But rather in a, give everyday all that you can give, in every opportunity you have, to anyone who needs it, kind of way. Chai Lifeline’s slogan is “Fighting Illness With Love”. I can assure you that here at Camp Simcha we honor that slogan, and we fight cancer by loving our campers to our fullest capabilities. I also can assure you that every single one of our campers feels our love.
