It is the last day of camp, and things are starting to slow down. Everyone is picking up all of the different crafts and creations that they made during the past two weeks. Candles, canvases, and more and being carried around by everyone. It is so cool to see what everyone was able to come up with. We are all really excited for tonights banquet, and goodbye ceremonies!
Color War!
After an amazing acrobatic night activity, we finally had our Color War breakout. After days of Dembi promising that there was no color war this year, it is finally here. The Red Chanuka Watchers, face off against the Blue Purim Dancers, and the competition is fierce. Just a few hours in, and there are tons of activities going on already. We have sports competitions, talent shows, and other wild ways to decide who the winner of Color War ’16 will be. One thing is for certain, it is going to be the closest color war that we have ever seen.
Gettin’ Dirty
Today we brought the Tough Mudder to Camp Simcha Special. This obstacle course is the dirtiest, and messiest in the mountains. You have to climb over mountains, through tunnels, and dance your way across the plank. But the best part is the mud pit that you get to bathe in at the end of the course. Ahhhh, relaxation.
All About That Bass
Josh and Ilan the beatboxing legends from America’s Got Talent were in camp today! They went through their whole performance from national TV, and did some freestyle stuff as well. A bunch of the campers, and staff members got up on stage as well to show off their skills, and they really rocked the house. We have some serious talent here, and we aren’t afraid to show it.
Up Up and Away!
Today we went way up into the sky in a helicopter! We each got a turn to take a ride, and fly over the entire camp. It is crazy, you can see everything from up there. That was definitely one of the most amazing things of the summer so far!
A Packed Afternoon!
There was so much going on in camp this afternoon that it was impossible to be bored. The video game room was open if you wanted to challenge your friend in any one of the many games that we have. The gym was turned into an old fashioned roller rink where you could skate, or scooter around. Lastly, the annual Dovi vs. Dembi hockey game was ramped up to full throttle this year, as the epic rivals match up for one final time…
Some Nice Clean Fun
This morning we were inspired by White Day to be super clean, so we went to try out the soap making workshop. There’s a lot more to it than we thought. You have to put in all different objects, and designs to make the soap look the way that you want. Then you pick the scent that you want your soap to have, and only after that do you actually add the hot soap. Only a few short hours later you have your very own bar of soap. Pretty cool, huh?
The “Jewish Jordan”
Special Night Activity tonight as Tamir Goodman came to visit. First, we all piled into the Social Hall to hear all about his incredible story. He was in Sports Illustrated, and went to the Israeli Army too! Then we crossed over to the gym for our very own basketball clinic with Tamir. He taught us about passing, shooting, shot fakes, and rebounds. Then we all headed to the free throw line to put our newly learned skills into practice. Everyone was scoring, it was incredible!
Gooooaaal!
After an exciting morning with Bike4Chai, a bunch of the guys decided to play a quick game of pickup soccer. With the light of the sunset beaming down on the field, this looks like it is going to be an epic matchup…
They Are Here!
What a packed afternoon! We started it off with a parade of all the campers who marched with their respective divisions. The bikers rolled in the beginning of the afternoon, and we greeted them Camp Simcha Special style! They came straight into the tent exhausted, and danced with us for over an hour. We presented a special song and dance which we made specifically for this occasion. After working up that big appetite, we all headed over to a gigantic BBQ, and really filled up. Thank you Bike4Chai!
