Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

August 9, 2018Leave a Comment

Because it’s Chanukah in Camp Simcha, It’s very cold outside. There was a huge pit in the middle of the field filled with “snow”. All the campers were able to play in the snow with winter hats, gloves and scarves.  During lunch there was a big game of hot potato with Chanukah gifts and a lot of campers won gifts.

 

 

 

 

Happy Channukah

Happy Chanukah from Camp Simcha Special! Today is Chanukah day, and the dining room is disguised as a giant window with Menorahs in it. Everyone is wearing different Chanukah themed clothing like donuts, dreidels and latkes. During breakfast there was a big donut stand for everyone to decorate their own donuts.

Ending off with a “bang”

August 5, 2018Leave a Comment

It’s hard to believe that Camp Simcha Special Boys 2018 has come to an end. We wish Efraim Solash our best wishes, as he celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with us today at lunch. We had an incredibly heart warming end to this session as we had “goodbye” speeches and some singing. We then headed down to the lake where we were greeted by the sweet smell of cakes and ice cream. A special colorful fireworks display followed which had the camp in awe. An incredible end to an incredible session…..

Happy Channukah!!!

Happy Chanukah from Camp Simcha Special! Unfortunately today is our last day at Camp Simcha Special. However, we can’t wait to have an awesome, action packed day. Tonight we will be having a special “goodbye” banquet, YUM!!!

Friday Ft Shabbat

August 4, 2018Leave a Comment

WOW, Its hard to believe that this week has come and gone, as the saying goes: “time flies when you’re having fun.” Friday started of just as any other day but to the campers surprise, we had an incredible special activity in which the campers got a helicopter ride. Thats right, a HELICOPTER RIDE!!! Celebrating our Star Wars theme, we had a “glow in the dark” Jedi party. It was incredible as everyone danced in the dark with colorful tape and lightsabers illuminating the room. Shabbat as always was incredibly special and uplifting. We can’t wait to see what Camp Simcha Special has planned for our last day….
