Thank You Thank You Thank You

Today is Hakaras Hatov (Thankful) day. The dining room looks like a Thanksgiving parade with pumpkins, pilgrims and turkeys. It looks amazing. Everyone is dressed as something thanksgiving or thank you related. There are lots of specialty activities today, and we cannot wait to see what surprises are in store.

For night activity there was a masquerade ball where all the campers got dressed in gowns. There were games, food and a photo booth. Everyone had such a great time!

Camp Simcha Takes NYC

August 15, 2018Leave a Comment

What an incredible day. We started off the day at Victorian Gardens Amusement Park. After, we walked to Central Park for a delicious pizza lunch. The rain might of stopped us form the ferry rides, but it didn’t stop us from having an awesome time. We sang and cheered and showed the whole NYC the spirit Camp Simcha has. After, we drove to Garden State Plaza to spread smiles to everyone who was there. We gave people stickers that said smile and we spread joy throughout the whole mall. To end off the night, we had dinner and a concert by Mordecai Shapiro! It was not only an amazing day, but also an incredible opportunity for us to show the world what a magical place Camp Simcha truly is.

Tu’Bav day has been so much fun despite the rainy weather. We had a professional crotcheter come who made a stunning heart with the help of our campers that was put in front of the lake. By dinner the Glen Spay Town Hall came and presented Camp Simcha with an award. For night activity we had Fun n’ Fit come and have a dance party with us.

 

Happily Ever After

Today is the day we’ve all been dreaming of since we were little. It’s wedding day here in Camp Simcha Special. After weeks of planning, we finally get to celebrate today. The dining room is filled with hearts, flower girls, grooms and of course our brides. The older division had a trip to a shooting range and had an awesome time.

Super(bowl) Night Activity

You can’t have Super Bowl Sunday without a tailgate dinner, so for dinner we had dinner in the field wth our favorite tailgate foods. For night activity, we played Lets Make a Deal. Campers won money, earphones, and so much more cool prizes. It was a great Superbowl Sunday!

Halftime Show

Camp Simcha got to welcome a real super bowl player Jeff Schwartz. Campers got his autograph, and he played in our Camp Simcha Super Bowl game. During the game, we had a halftime show with hilarious commercials which featured all the campers. Superbowl Sunday is going great and everyone’s having an awesome time.

 

Superbowl Sunday

Touchdown in camp Simcha. Everybody was greeted by our  very own football players in the dining room at breakfast. The dining room was disguised as a football stadium and was filled with the noise of cheering fans. We are super excited to see what “Superbowl Sunday” has in store for us today.

 

Shabbat Shalom

August 11, 2018Leave a Comment

What an incredible first Shabbat in Camp Simcha! There were multiple campers who got up in front of the whole camp and spoke about themselves, and inspired everyone. We all enjoyed yummy snacks from the canteen, and bingo where everyone won awesome prizes. After Shabbat we had Aviva playing on the piano, lots of dancing and of course, food.
