He loves his megaphone
His frog hat too
That’s Dembi’s World!
Today Camp Simcha Special had a blast escaping to Sesame Place. Experiencing Sesame Street live is A LOT more exciting than experiencing it from the couch! As the campers walked into the dining room for lunch, they were greeted by life sized Sesame Street characters. Campers got their portraits taken with the characters, and some even got an autograph! By lunch, our campers squealed with delight as they watched the division heads compete in a cookie-eating contest. Surprisingly, cookie monster did not win. And of course, lunch was capped by another Epic Eleven uproar where the campers rocked to the songs of Stomp on the Ground, I Gotta Feelin, and Friday (how apropos?).
After lunch, Moshe F. decided to do some baking. Of course, he topped his challah with SESAME seeds not poppy! The room smelled so awesome that I couldn’t resist sneaking a chocolate cookie from the oven, and another, and another, and another!
Cookie Monster would love the Camp Simcha Canteen. The canteen is stocked with everything from hot pretzels, to gushers, to ice cream: ALL ON THE HOUSE! That’s exactly where I found Baruch S enjoying some chocolate chip cookies. He seemed to be enjoying his snack, devouring it cookie monster style.
Towards the middle of the day, the rest of Glen Spey had some rain. In Camp Simcha though, we only have Sunny Days. That, of course, is the reason why so many people ask us how to get here. During the rain (in the rest of Glen Spey), our campers had an awesome Sesame activity in the social hall. When I walked in, I found campers immersed in puppet making; and tables scattered with tube socks, paper bags, glue, markers, and fabrics. Naftali G. was hard at work creating a Peter Pan puppet from a paper bag. He topped it off with a hat cut from green felt and a sword made from Popsicle sticks. He even added a nice big feather to Peter’s hat. After creating their gorgeous puppets, the campers performed a super creative and entertaining puppet show for their peers.
Epic Camp Simcha weekend here we come!
