Wow! We did a lot!!
The New York trip was one for the books. Our protest in Zuccotti Park, and song and dance in front of Citi Field, showed the world that Happiness Heals. With our signs held high, we faced the world and showed them how strong we are and how strong we will be. And don’t let that overshadow the rest of the amazing trip. From the double decker buses, to the boat ride, to the Mets game, it was a day that will be remembered deep into the winter.
To keep the memories of the session alive, and to publicize our message, our camp worked together to create a summer theme song, Happiness Heals, and a dance to go along with it. Our campers spent time learning the choreographed dance, and then reaped satisfaction after mastering it in front of Citi Field. They also worked together to record it in our brand new on campus recording studio. Stay tuned for the finished product.
All the friends we made, the lasting bonds we created…
Now home safe and sound, our unbelievable campers now have memories to last till next summer to keep them going strong and happy. They now have the strength of confidence of a summer in Camp Simcha to help through the year which we hope to fill with so much fun they won’t have time to miss camp.
And to our amazing Camp Simcha staff…. this summer would not have been possible without you. Your countless hours of work, intense devotion, and unending love was palpable every second of our time in camp. Your dedication to your work and to our campers is truly an inspiration. There are no words for what you did, for the children you renewed, for the memories you created and for everything else that you did.
So yes, the last bus may have rolled out of Glen Spey, taking with it our incredible camper,s but we know it won’t be long till we see them again…
Stay tuned for more exciting posts here… this may be the Camp blog, but just because Camp is over, it doesn’t mean we won’t keep you posted on all the great things that we experienced and the even greater things to come
