Bells are ringing, pots are clanging… Camp Simcha has been transported 100 years into the past! Our day began with an outdoor meal, complete with fire cooked potatoes, yodeling waitresses, and fresh baked loaves of bread. Despite the dreary weather, we were kept sunny and bright with our photographers lighting up the dining room with professional pictures of our campers dressed in their finest olden day garb. Our day was busy, busy, busy with a colonial fair. We made soap, cheese, and each camper baked her own pie! By the end of the day, there was an abundance of pie splattered around camp- cherry, blueberry and lemon meringue filling flew all over our staff and campers’ faces!
Back at our fair, we wove beautiful baskets, quilted, danced up a storm to a Camp Simcha favorite– Newsies!!– and designed corn husk dolls.
The rain didn’t stop us from having a pretty inventive night activity– old fashioned races! We shucked corn, raced in potato sacks and Waka Waka’d once more!
Whew, another super crazy day in Camp Simcha… and more fun is in store!!
