In conjunction with today’s awesome tribal theme, Camp Simcha had a special “Native American Festival” which had all different exciting booths and Indian music! Most of the booths involved arts n’ crafts, but each booth gave you a different craft to take home. The campers enjoyed making Native American dance rattles and pan flutes, which are similar to harmonicas. They also made necklaces: basket-weaved necklaces made out of yarn and Native American necklaces made out of rocks and beads called “arrowhead pendants.” Additionally, the campers made drums out of long rectangular sheets which they colored and wrapped around two container covers, along with some feathers, too, of course! The teepee key chains were also a big hit – the campers loved making these tribal-themed key chains! And how can we forget!! There was a huge fire pit, and a drum man singing and rain dancing in the middle, while there was corn grilling off to the side.
“My favorite activity was for sure all the arts n’ crafts!” Dani says.
“Naaahh, I loved the archery!” Jackie exclaims.
All the booths were so popular, and there’s even more fun to come tonight!
