“My favorite activity in camp is swimming. I passed the deep water test today… The lifeguard didn’t ask me to back float, but I know how to.”

“Guess my name…it’s Leah. Leah is my favorite name in the world.”
Fabulous Foodies in Simcha
Between activities campers picked candy that was hanging from a tree. In sweet shoppe, campers made faux meatballs, spaghetti and chicken. Faigy G. said that the meatballs she made in sweet shoppe were really tasty, but not as tasty as the ones her mom made.
Then campers gathered in the dining room for a fabulous food expo. There was mint archery; campers aimed and shot mints into their counselors gaping mouths. There was fruit carving where campers carved fruit to resemble human faces. Some campers decorated napkin rings and salad servers using a wide selection of beautiful glass beads and wires while others eagerly decorated muffins using every candy imaginable. Junior sushi chefs worked diligently at one station creating tasty rolls. It was quite a delicious activity.
Appropriately scrumptious meatballs and spaghetti were served for supper.
Exiting Electives
For a few days CCS is offering special elective activities. In one elective campers learn how to apply makeup and what colors work best with their complexions. In another activity, campers make miniature masterpieces out of clay. If they so wish, campers can choose to play tennis, or they can connect with their musical side and learn how to play an instrument.

Simcha Special’s Super Slumber Party
Camp Simcha Special had a girls night. Campers got manicures, made sleeping caps, and decorated pillow cases. Then they stretched out on comfy blankets that were spread out on the floor and watched Cinderella. It was the perfect end of a wonderful day.
Simcha: the camp that never sleeps
Campers and staff had a spontaneous shaving cream fight. Covered in white globs from head to toe, everyone was laughing and making silly faces. After getting hosed off, campers gathered for Simcha’s very special talent show. Each camper was cheered on as they performed the presentations that they had worked hard on. There were music videos, comedy skits, dancing and much more. The Simcha stars sparkled under the stage lights.
The Magic Continues in Neverland
Campers made sand art out of pixie dust, before going to night activity. A mesmerizing magician came to perform an incredible night activity. He read minds and even made a table float. Every trick left everyone dumbfounded and thirsting for more. A whole new adventure begins tomorrow. We’ll keep you posted.
Magical Moments in Simcha
Today campers in Camp Simcha Special had fun with music in a special jamming activity. Campers learned exactly how a violin is played and what it is made out of. Apparently horse hair is used to construct a violin bow! Campers stroked the “hairy” bow and patted the violin’s smooth surface. Campers were awed by the beautiful sound of the accordion, and they were taught that an accordion is a wind instrument. They listened to the air rushing in and out of the the accordion. Campers learned how to play a song on the guitar, and everyone played and sung it together. Then campers went wild with the bongos, stomping and clapping with the beat. The room pulsated from the energy…and from the noise.
Today Camp Simcha Special celebrated Sara’s Bat Mitzvah. She had a spectacular fairy themed party (which was very appropriate since CCS was Neverland today). There was a humongous beautifully decorated cake, an assortment of green sweets, and green pixie juice. Campers enjoyed delicious green cotton candy made from some very tasty magical pixie dust. Dancing and lively music followed. After the dancing campers made their very own fairy tutus out of pink, purple, green and blue tulle. The fairies than formed a circle to hear a few beautiful words from Sara’s dad.
With a wave of their wands, the fairies disguised themselves as pirates and rushed to their next activity, capture the (pirate) flag. In Simcha’s never never land, we never never stop smiling. Peter Pan leads the way to even more great fun.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Campers went somewhere over the rainbow and had a paint fight! Campers came away from the special activity looking like unique pieces of modern art. After washing up, campers went to the spa where they were also painted, but in a more traditional manner; they got manicures and pedicures, and they even got their makeup done.
