What a day, what a day! All of our campers were really high with excitement as they flew through the airspace around camp in a real helicopter! Decked out in special army fatigue t-shirts made special for this occasion, each child was treated to a ride a few hundred feet above camp in the helicopter.
After such an exciting morning, the psych just didn’t stop! From flying high in the air, we moved onto “deal”ing with the people from Deal, New Jersey for Deal Day! During lunch, we met and greeted our friends from Deal and received yet another t-shirt from them. After lunch it was straight on to the carnival, featuring blow up rides, moon-walks, rock-climbing, and even a Mission Impossible booth where you had to avoid criss-crossing lasers just like in the movie! Everyone enjoyed the carnival immensely.
Dinner was then served…outside! We had a BBQ picnic in the front lawn of camp, everybody all together enjoying a nice burger or hot dog on the grass.
Bellies full, it was time to hit the gym, to watch Camp Simcha take on the Deal team in an intense game of basketball. The crowd was cheering and chanting the whole time, and at the end, it was a close game, but of course Camp Simcha came out the victor, and the whole camp rushed out onto the court to congratulate our winners.
For the day’s finale, everybody, Camp, Staff, and Deal’ers alike got to relax under the stars and watch a spectacular array of fireworks. What a great way to end an even greater day.
