Our last Shabbat in Camp Simcha Special was incredible. Some of our campers spoke at the meals, and inspired everyone. There was a hilarious Shabbat play performed by the campers followed by bingo. A magician came and did cool tricks and mind reading on the campers. We ended the day with a choir, and an ice cream party. We cannot believe it was the last Shabbat, and are so sad camp is coming to an end.

Friday was a “splashing” success, we had our Camp Simcha Special bubble run for Splash Mountain day. All the campers ran into colored bubbles and played in foam pits filled with. After everyone showered for Shabbat, they went to the Simcha Spa where they got their hair, nails and makeup done. Everyone looked so beautiful for the last Shabbat in Camp Simcha Special.

After a loaded day with workshops and Tour de Simcha, we ended the day with a great night activity. The Chicago Boyz Acrobatics came to Camp Simcha, and we watched them flip over campers, jump rope, and balance on tall chairs. Everyone enjoyed watching them perform, we didn’t want it to end. It was a great day, and we cannot wait for tomorrow.

What an incredible day in Camp Simcha Special. We all greeted the bikers with posters and cheers. A few campers made a special dance for all the bikers, and we taught everyone our Tour de Simcha song and dance. There was a yummy dinner in the tent that we all enjoyed.  After all the bikers left, we had a water fight that really cooled us off!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s super hero day in Camp Simcha Special! The dining room is set up as a super hero theme, and everyone is dressed up as their favorite super hero. We are all preparing for Tour de Simcha, and are so excited to welcome everyone!   

After a loaded day in Camp Simcha Special, we ended the night with our very own Dancing with the Stars. Each camper and their counselor chose a dance to perform, and was then rated by our camp judges. Each dance was incredible which made the competition very tight. Sara won the mirror ball trophy with her partner Chanie! What  great end to a day. We can’t wait for Tour de Simcha tomorrow!
