Simcha Feud

July 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Although the sun might be setting, we are still lighting things up as we head to night activity. We had our own version of Family Feud, also known as “Simcha Feud” because there is no family like our Simcha Special family. And even as the buzzers go down, we continue on to late night workshops such as canvas painting and soap making. And then we start to wrap the night up with going to the canteen. The staff got the pleasure of hearing from Judge Butler before we call it a night with excitement to what awaits us tomorrow.

Pretty Princesses in Simcha

July 16, 2017Leave a Comment

What an incredible day we’ve had filled with, archery, swimming, boat rides, candle making and activities galore. Lunch included special treats such as candy apples, apple crumble, apple cider, and apple bobbing for us to try out. With all the princesses and dwarves roaming the camp you could really feel the magic of camp simcha in the air. We cannot wait for tomorrow’s Galaxy themed day, it’s going to be out of this world!

Sunday Funday

July 16, 2017Leave a Comment

Hi Ho it’s off to Simcha Special we go! Today’s Snow White theme is the perfect following to our amazing Shabbat. We got to meet a real life princess like inspiration Lindsay Hilton who inspired us with her athletic journey despite being born without hands and feet. Our gem hunt has sent us out and about camp to see which division can find the most. There is so much more in store for today like archery, soap making, chocomania, ropes courses and we just can’t wait!

First Shabbat

July 15, 2017Leave a Comment

The first Shabbat in Camp Simcha Special’s Magic Kingdom was incredible. Before Shabbat, all the campers got “glammed up” in our new braids workshop. We enjoyed our weekly Shabbat bingo game where all the winners chose prizes, and there was a special prayer service lead by one of our campers. An Ice cream party was served, and after Shabbat we sang and danced. It was so much fun!

Magic Kingdom Kicks Off

Welcome to Simcha Special’s Magic Kingdom! Yesterday’s arrival were unbelievably amazing and seeing our friends again were definitely a highlight. This morning’s Toy Story Mania was the perfect first day kick off. Our gorgeous dining room was decorated in Toy Story theme as our campers roamed disguised as aliens, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and their favorite toys. We cannot wait to see what’s in store!

Camp Simcha Special is here! Our amazing staff welcomed all the campers in our Magic Kingdom with cheering and dancing. Minnie, Mickey and the gang walked around camp, and met all the campers. We had a hilarious improv night activity by the Freestyle Repertory Theater. We ended the night with a magical parade with many Disney characters, and cool electrical lights. Camp Simcha Special is off to a great start!

Last Night in Camp Simcha Magic Kingdom

July 9, 2017Leave a Comment

We had an amazing last day in the Magic Kingdom! Our inspiring staff member Chali donated her hair in front of the whole camp. We watched a play made by the staff kids, and the incredible camp video. We ended the night with a slide show and fireworks.

 

 

Mickey Takes Camp Simcha

July 9, 2017Leave a Comment

What a great day it has been so far in Camp Simcha. Everyone is dressed as Minnie or Mickey Mouse, and packing up their bunks. We cannot wait for the annual banquet where we will watch the end of the summer video that our Camp Simcha Media team has been working so hard on.
