As hundreds of cyclists entered Camp Simcha, they were greeted by happy smiles and loud music. Everyone entered our big tent where our very own DJ Hudacris got Camp Simcha Special and Bike 4 Chai members dancing and singing. The atmosphere was electric as everyone celebrated. Delicious food was served and more dancing continued as everyone enjoyed each others company. To end of a busy day, we sang and ate scrumptious, sweet marshmallows around a fire to celebrate our “Lag b’omer” theme. A tranquil end to a vibrant day…..

In honor of today being “Pesach”, Camp Simcha Special had its own version of the 10 Makot. There was an ice bath, fruit punch pool, lice check, and a lot of shaving cream. Let’s just say things got messy. At dinner we had a wild animal exhibition in which the campers and counselors alike got to touch different wild animals including a snake and tortoise. Uncle Moishe gave Camp Simcha Special an amazing concert in which he had us all singing along to all his classic songs.

Happy Pesach!

What an incredible end to a special day a Camp Simcha as the high flying trampoline jumpers from The Sky Divers soared through the air in the gym. Looking back at the day I’m sure all the campers would agree that their highlight would be getting to “pie” their counselors in the face. Great way to celebrate Pi(e) Day, no? The day was filled with incredible activities including: swimming, canvas painting, 3D printing, Krav Maga, pottery and many other activities.

As the music quieted down, cars and Camp Simcha alumni started flooding in for Alumni day. Alumni were greeted to our spectacular carnival and circus. Happy smiles were seen all round as the smell of cotton candy and popcorn filled the air…. Yum!!!! Following the circus was a scrumptious BBQ.
