Friday afternoon, campers prepped for Shabbat by visiting the Camp Simcha Shabbat Salon. Tons of colorful nail polish and makeup were available for the girls. After a delicious Friday night meal, Sienna gave an inspirational speech and put a smile on our faces.
After lunch on Shabbat Day we enjoyed a play performed our very own campers! Their rendition of Mary Poppins received a well deserved standing ovation. The afternoon was really relaxing, and while some spent time reading in the library, others practiced for the choir.
As we sat on the balcony outside the Dining Hall and waited for Shabbat to end, Dr. Caroline spoke to us about her experiences with childhood cancer. We danced and sang with Dr. Caroline in celebration of her son’s Bar Mitzva. Watching the sun set past the trees, we could feel the sense of unity that we achieved over Shabbat.
