Welcome Deal friends to the Camp Simcha family! Today we were fortunate to have the Deal community visit, and they sure did pick a great day to come. The theme of the day was cards. Our dining hall was decorated like a Las Vegas casino. Girls dressed up like the queen of hearts, wearing giant cards and crowns. During lunch we taught our Game On and Waka Waka dances to our new friends. The dancing was followed by even more dancing at an Avraham Fried concert! Some campers got up on stage to join. After the concert, each girl got to choose from a large variety of presents donated by our Deal friends. Presents included flip cameras, makeup, clothes, and more. To follow the Las Vegas theme, campers participated in a game show, The Wild’N Wacky Challenge! Tzippora said that her favorite part of the show was pie-ing her counselor. At dinner, we celebrated the Bat Mitzvahs of a few of our campers. Bat Mitzvah cake flew through the air as campers smashed slices in their counselors’ faces.
Night activity ended the day with a bang. The social hall was transformed into a casino with slot machines, poker tables, and blackjack. Strawberry daiquiris were served with cherries and olives. Sari said her favorite part of the day was playing blackjack. Reagan said “getting a flip camera.” We all say “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” I say, “what happens in Camp Simcha, stays in Camp Simcha.” You must experience it for yourself!
