After our campers shot some hoops with Steve Nash, we continued our sportacular day. By lunch, we were visited by a group of Goldman Sachs employees. After observing just a few moments of our lunch upROAR, they were thoroughly convinced that they are supporting the best possible cause. Many of them opted to join in on the fun, and sing and dance with our awesome campers. They seemed to be having just a bit more fun than they’ve had in a while (After all, SportsWorld is just a bit more exciting than CubicleWorld).
Continuing with our sports theme, our camp and our Goldman Sachs guests proceeded to the gym where we squared off in a volleyball match. The game was close at first, but then, with the help of our campers, we pulled ahead. Many campers rotated into the game, including a star server. The game was complemented by epic chanting on the sidelines, making it feel more like the SuperBowl than a game with a bunch of bankers. At one point during the game, the entire gym (players included) broke into a dance to Y-M-C-A, twisting and screaming in a way only CSS can do. Camp Simcha eventually won by over ten points, and the entire gym broke into song: “We are the Champions, my friends.” Our campers left the gym feeling very good about their undefeated record. We thank Goldman Sachs for visiting and for their continued support.
After the volleyball game, Avrumi B. made his way to the archery field (thats more of a sport than poker, fishing, and bowling combined) to practice his shot. He didn’t miss the bulls eye, and after a while it got very repetitive. I decided to move on to the baseball field where our campers were in the midst of an intense baseball game. It was the first baseball game of the year and energy was running high. Star pitcher and catcher Rephael G. and Dany G., worked seamlessly together to create a one-two punch.
For supper, our master chef, grill meisters, and waiters, collaborated to create an unbelievable tailgate party. We were served hero and fried chicken sandwiches, chicken wings, corn on the cob, knishes, and assorted salads. The only thing missing was the beer!
