Hehe, that’s not revealed until later. This morning during breakfast, everyone was directed out of the dining room to the parking lot across the road for our first fire drill of this session, which was done quickly, efficiently, and safely. Afterwards, it was time for some inspirational learning groups, followed by the first activity of Color War 2010, wheel chair races! Every camper in a wheelchair lined up at the start line and whooshed past at top speed towards the finish line with much fervor and excitement. Once we were all raced out, we all headed to team time to learn the team cheer songs, which we belted out in the dining room after lunch, with accompaniment from our very own Camp Simcha band, The British Invasion!
Taking a break from Color War for a little bit, we all headed to the social hall for an awesome performance by The Brain Show. Campers were called up, quizzed, and stumped as they were asked questions in a game show style.
Back to business, it was time for some activities. We had a massive car wash, meals on wheels, mini-golf, various water competitions in the pool and the lake, and an egg drop in the baseball field.
After activities, it came down to the final performances. Before dinner we had a major team time where we learned the Alma Mater songs. Both teams marched into supper, during which a theme related speech was given by campers.
At last, it was time for the Grand Finale. Emotionally moving Alma Maters were sung, comedic skits were performed, and “everlasting gobstopper” artworks were displayed.
The suspense kept building up in the social hall as Dembi stood up to announce the winner. After much deliberation and tension, we were all duly informed that the winning team was in fact…THE BLUE TEAM!
After a long day of intense competition, it was finally time to head back to our bunks and chill out and hit the hay, eagerly waiting for another amazing day here in Camp Simcha Special.
