The Court Jesters

The Court Jesters are here and everyone is having a blast.

The Court Jesters started off by showcasing their incredible basketball skills. Soon after, the jesters and the campers played a fantastic game where some of the campers even dunked.

At Halftime, the campers, counselors, and jesters had a dance party for the ages. It was a great night for #Sababa16 and I can’t wait to see what the camp has in store for tomorrow.

Orange Day Breakfast

Today is Orange Day at Camp Simcha and the basketball themed breakfast bash did not disappoint. #ColorCraze2016 has officially begun.

Such a great breakfast prompted us to bust out some moves on the dance floor #Sababa16 style. The incredible Camp Simcha Band had us all dancing, jumping, and sweating. You just can’t help but smile at the amazing energy that the campers and staff bring everywhere they go. So much fun so far and its not even time for lunch yet. I can’t wait to see what camp has planned for later today.

Welcome to Camp Simcha Boys Session 2016! We opened up camp with a bang with the arrivals of Campers from all over the world. Each camper was welcomed into camp with his very own tunnel made up of hundreds of energetic and excited staff members itching to meet everyone. DJ Jon was blasting his own awesome beats for hours while everyone around him danced and went crazy. SABABA16 is moving at full force, and we cant wait to see what comes next!

The Final Day is Here

August 10, 2016Leave a Comment

It is the last day of camp, and things are starting to slow down. Everyone is picking up all of the different crafts and creations that they made during the past two weeks. Candles, canvases, and more and being carried around by everyone. It is so cool to see what everyone was able to come up with. We are all really excited for tonights banquet, and goodbye ceremonies!

Color War!

After an amazing acrobatic night activity, we finally had our Color War breakout. After days of Dembi promising that there was no color war this year, it is finally here. The Red Chanuka Watchers, face off against the Blue Purim Dancers, and the competition is fierce. Just a few hours in, and there are tons of activities going on already. We have sports competitions, talent shows, and other wild ways to decide who the winner of Color War ’16 will be. One thing is for certain, it is going to be the closest color war that we have ever seen.

Gettin’ Dirty

Today we brought the Tough Mudder to Camp Simcha Special. This obstacle course is the dirtiest, and messiest in the mountains. You have to climb over mountains, through tunnels, and dance your way across the plank. But the best part is the mud pit that you get to bathe in at the end of the course. Ahhhh, relaxation.

Josh and Ilan the beatboxing legends from America’s Got Talent were in camp today! They went through their whole performance from national TV, and did some freestyle stuff as well. A bunch of the campers, and staff members got up on stage as well to show off their skills, and they really rocked the house. We have some serious talent here, and we aren’t afraid to show it.

Today we went way up into the sky in a helicopter! We each got a turn to take a ride, and fly over the entire camp. It is crazy, you can see everything from up there. That was definitely one of the most amazing things of the summer so far!
