We can no longer deny the inescapable truth – Camp Simcha Special 2014 is coming to a close… But instead of getting down about it, we are doing everything possible (and impossible) to make certain this is the greatest and most memorable day ever, and so far today’s proving to be utterly magical… We are spending the day with Aladdin and Jasmine today in their majestic palace. Honestly, a palace is set up in the Dining Hall – 4 walls, a golden throne, flowing curtains – there is a legit palace standing in the center of the Dining Hall. There is even a suspended magic carpet in the center that campers were able to sit on. The sun is shining, campers and staff are dressed as queens and princesses – Middle Eastern style. Talk about the ultimate photo op…
But there were even more amazing magic carpets to ride. From everywhere in camp you could hear the whirring, and we all took a double take – was that a helicopter?? Yes. Yes, we have a helicopter in camp. Campers are able to go up in a helicopter where they can get a birds-eye view of the entire camp. As if helicopter rides (helicopter rides!!) wasn’t enough, there are loud revving noises coming from the entrance of camp where motorcycles (motorcycles!!) are giving campers an exciting ride.
Even lunch was amazing, complete with pizza rolls and a dance party, rocking out to our in-house band Faux Real (Check them out here). We also cheered for our graduating campers. There were tearful goodbyes as each graduating camper was called up for an award pointing out their individual qualities which made their presence in camp so special. We’ll definitely miss them next year. But 2014 isn’t over yet!! Stay tuned to this space to find out more about what’s happening on this super exciting day of camp!
