And once again, the tutus come out gracing us with tuffs of frilly pink thrills. It’s pink day here at Camp Simcha Special and just in time for this year’s Tour De Simcha bike-a-thon! Our campers will be cheering on our biking supporters who are at this very moment, somewhere along a 72 mile trek to the Camp Simcha Special finish line! We are expecting a giant swarm of riders this afternoon as well as a stampede of “pinkalicious” activities. With face paint applied, tutus adorned and pretty pink everywhere, we are ready to hit this day hard!

And The Winner Is…!

CONGRATULATIONS to our Blue Team! We knew you could do it!

P.S While the Blue Team has claimed the official win, we know that every single one of our girls made this day stupendous with her individual efforts. We would like to thank each and every one of our colorific campers for writing lyrics, painting banners, cheering down the roof and bringing simcha and excitement to this year’s Color War! You truly are the stars of Camp Simcha Special.

Tallying The Totals…

July 5, 2016Leave a Comment

Right now, at this very suspenseful moment, the judges are calculating the points, tallying the totals and getting tantalizingly close to announcing our Color War winner for Camp Simcha Special Color Craze 2016! While nothing is fixed, we’ve got a tiny glimpse of the figures thus far:
Yellow has had the lead in competitive sports all day but Blue is leading in cheers! Yellow’s banner was pretty hard to beat in design but Blue’s creativity was first class!

For this year’s Color War, both teams had to fill the following requirements: Dinning room decor, a spectacular team cheer and team song and an everlasting banner, something that will stay with Camp Simcha Special forever. Blue presented our judges with a new lunar clock for the dinning room, depicting each stage of the moon’s metamorphosis and renewal throughout the month. Yellow displayed a killer castle for the Arts and Crafts room down by the lake, a huge piece of our Camp campus and desperately in need of its own personalized sign.

And now, for the final scores….

the final, final scores…

Battles at the baseball field continue with the two oldest divisions competing at water tossing, stealing the bucket and shaving cream twister! Both teams have been snagging points all afternoon and it’s nearly impossible to say for sure who’s truly winning at this point in the games. Both Yellow and Blue are showing a tremendous amount of cheering action thus far and who knows what the final rounds will yield…GO BLUE TEAM! GO YELLOW TEAM!

The last time we consulted the scoreboards, the yellow team was ahead by 2 points at relay races on the baseball fields with the final scores at 16 for the Blue Team and 18 for the Yellow. The two sides are dramatically close with plenty of time for the Blue Team to make a sensational comeback! Following competitive sports on the baseball fields, both teams joined arms to dance at a late morning concert with Eitan Freilich! While still caught amidst a hefty battle, our girls took a welcomed intermission from the combat zone and danced it up Simcha Special style! With more team time scheduled for future color-coded preparations, we are looking forward to a final face-off later today at the Color War Grand Finale!

Good Luck to all of our troops, you’re doing an excellent job out there!

Let The Battles Begin!

Color War round #1 is off to a phenomenal start! The dining room this morning was bisected into blue’s moon walk and yellow’s sunshine arcade. Our two battling teams lost no time last night cutting out decorations and sticking colorful remnants all over the dining hall. Astronauts and various moons are storming the blue side of the room while pac-mans are buzzing about the yellow side. The tensions are mounting, the suspense climaxing as a Color Crazed Color War begins!

COLOR WAR BREAK-OUT!

It’s official. War has been declared in Camp Simcha Special! The teams have been announced and all peace treaties denied. IT’S WAR! With Team Yellow-sun lead by Kaitlyn and Team Blue-moon lead by Ziva, our color crazed campers are up for a busy night of strategizing, decorating and lyrical song writing. All divisions have been given their respective assignments, some of which include decorating the dining room for breakfast with team colors, creating an everlasting banner and writing a bundle of cheers for tomorrow’s battle. Wishing all of our captains and their troops much luck in the upcoming color war series!
