Can you tap your head, touch your ears, squeeze your nose? Now stand up and cheer!!! Steve Max joined us in Camp Simcha! Simon Sez brought everyone to their feet playing, cheering, and laughing hysterically! Campers and staff were called up to compete with each other to be the Simon Sez Champion!!!!! Everyone was involved in the fun and excitement. Girls sang their names as long as they could hold the note, had dance-offs and more during our marvelous night activity. We never imagined it could be so much fun to play Simon Says together!

Now Simon Says to go to bed…Looking forward to an amazing day tomorrow!

As the lights dimmed and the curtains opened, our stupendous Simcha talent was revealed! The stage was open to anyone who wished to showcase their unbelievable talents!! A vast array of talents were performed as campers did what they like to do best or just went on stage to have a good time. Who would have thought that there was soooo many amazing singers in camp? The audience sat back and enjoyed as our precious campers graced us with their angelic voices. For some campers it was their first time singing in front of a large crowd!! We were blown away when one young camper got on stage and solved a rubics cube in a few short minutes! Flips, cartwheels, headstands, and backbends brought us all to our feet for a standing ovation. Some dynamic duos were revealed when campers showed off their choreography in dazzling dance performances. The array of acts included comedians, poets, break-dancers, imitations, and an improv performance. Bunk 10 ended of the show as they joined together in dance and song. It was beautiful to see the enormous applause and cheering that each camper got as they performed!!! What a talented group we have here at the happiest place on earth!!!!!

 

Hop on the Magic School Bus!

When we woke up this morning, we thought the summer was over and we had started school already. It was quite a relief when we realized that campers and staff are clad in school uniforms and graduation gowns because today is Magic School Bus day! We are looking forward to all of the exciting activities that Simcha has planned for today!

Who Said That?!

A ventriloquist came to Camp Simcha! Smiles lit up each camper’s face as they listened to our marvelous ventriloquist, Chuck. His jokes kept us giggling, his enthusiasm kept us cheering, and his dummy kept us laughing. Three lucky campers were called up on stage to take part in Chuck’s hysterical act. Jordan, Shayna, and Miriam brought laughs to all as the ventriloquist pretended to be their voices. It was an enjoyable way to end the extraordinary day!

Food, Food, Food!!!

Food, food, food! Everyone ran to the windows as we heard a very familiar tune…an ice cream truck!!! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!! All the campers lined up to choose their favorite flavor. Delicious!

Campers then enjoyed an array of activities including ductigami, arts and crafts, baking, clay animation, pottery, and so much more.

The Food Expo was the highlight of many campers day. All of the ecstatic campers ran from booth to booth decorating gorgeous cupcakes, creating scrumptious sushi, carving crunchy apples, and designing napkin rings and serving pieces. Another strange noise had everyone running to the window again…a saw and a chunk of ice?!?! Ice carving by our very own Camp Simcha chef! Reuven carved a stunning ice swan as we watched fascinated and mesmerized.

What a marvelous day it has been already! Can’t wait to see what Camp Simcha has in store for night activity…!

Cloudy with a Chance of Smiles

Today’s forecast is cloudy with a chance (a very, very big chance) of fun, excitement, joy, and giggles!!! Hamburgers, hot dogs, tacos, sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, tomatoes, carrots, grapes, M&Ms, chocolate bars, and more have fallen from the sky into our very own Camp Simcha! You guessed it…Today’s theme is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!!! “It’s peanut butter jelly time…” is the melody we heard as we ate a joyous breakfast together.

Spaghetti hunt!!! We all ran outside with huge smiles on our faces to gather as much spaghetti as we could carry. With our large spaghetti piles in hand, each division ran back to the gym to try to make the longest spaghetti string! The Ninja Turtles won!!! The entire gym exploded in cheers. The delight kept on growing as the campers found out that they won night swim and a movie by the pool!

It makes us hungry to just look around and see all of the food surrounding us…Time for lunch!!!

Slumber Party!

Tonight we all snuggled under warm blankets together as we watched Frozen and enjoyed each others joyous company. At our slumber party there was a full-fledged spa where campers received facials and manicures. To add to the fun, campers were also given sleeping hats and pillow cases to decorate artistically. It’s been a very full and exciting day, good thing we are all in our pajamas and ready to jump into bed!

Good night from the happiest place on Earth!

Celebration is in the air!!  Today the whole camp came together to shower our Bat Mitzvah girls with love and blessings! Chaya Sarah, Gal, Maya, Leah, Rivky, Sophia, Meagan, Esti, and Tovi all looked stunning, as they were dressed to the hilt wearing beautiful ball gowns. The entire Social Hall was adorned with frilly pink decorations and the party began! The whole camp made a huge arch and cheered on our AMAZING Bat Mitzvah girls as they ran into the loving arms of their counselors. In Camp Simcha the dancing is always spirited and tons of fun. This time was no different!!!! The happiness on the faces of all of our girls was indescribable, each of them shining forth as the true jewel that they are. Jules our cake decorator made an amazing intricately designed cake especially for the celebration. All the Bat Mitzvah girls made a wish and blew out the candles! Gorgeous chocolate roses were created in honor of our Bat Mitzvah Girls. Each girl was given a stunning necklace as a heartfelt expression of of our overflowing love for them. There was not a dry eye in the crowd as each of our Bat Mitzvah girls spoke. We wish them much joy and happiness on this momentous occasion!!!!
