Camp Simcha & Camp Simcha Special
Simcha Magic: Feel It In The Air!
The tent is up, the signs are being made, and everyone is getting pumped for Bike4Chai! The anticipation is building as we wait to welcome thousands of people into our camp, and show them what we do! This is the biggest event of the summer, and we are gonna nail it! See you all later!
We had a few different special neon activities in honor of today’s color. Firstly, we played glow in the dark mini golf, tic-tac-toe, and connect four. Then, later at night, we had a wild dance party. We brought in a bunch of UV lights, which made our neon pop, pumped up the music really loud, and did what we do best, rock out #Sababa16 style.
Did you ever wonder what it was like to throw fire? We found out tonight when a fire juggler came to entertain us. He threw knives, torches, blazing tennis rackets, and just about anything else that he could light into the air.
Exhausted after your morning activities? Looking for something tasty to munch on? Head over to the Camp Canteen, and that should just about solve everything. There are so many different delicious options in the canteen, and you can have them all. Get some candy, popcorn, ice cream, or a slushi, and just hang out for a while and recharge. All this talk is making me hungry, see you later!
We are on the way to becoming a black belt after our karate workshop today. We learnt how to punch, kick, and a bunch of other techniques too. Its quite a work out, but its fun too. And its pretty cool that we get to wear the whole karate get-up as well.
Help! Camp Simcha Special has been sent back to the 80s, and we don’t know how to get out! There is so much neon everywhere! That’s right, its neon day, and the bright colors are everywhere you look. We were feeling creative this morning so we headed over to the newly remodeled candle shop to make something beautiful. There are bunch of different candle types that you can choose from. Then, you dye the candle, and afterwards you carve the most intricate and colorful designs that you can imagine. It’s really quite incredible. The best part, is that at the end of the summer you get to take it home, and use it for whatever you want. Such an awesome way to bring a piece of camp home with you!
Night Activity tonight was a chance for us to try something new. We each got our own bongo, and got to bang away to our hearts desire. We had an instructor guiding us, and teaching us how to pump out the craziest beats possible. Hey, maybe I’ll try out for the Simcha Band next year!
Welcome to the Camp Simcha Special shooting range! Load up your paintball gun and get ready to fire. Hit a plate for 10 points, the blue circle for 20 points, and the bullseye for 50 points. Go as many times as you want and try to break your high score!
It is Red Day in camp, and in honor of the Big Apple, we were feeling adventurous, so we headed over to the ropes course. There are a few different rock walls to climb, and a rope wall too. I almost made it all the way to the top! On top of that, there are two zip lines which have you flying through the air in between the trees. Its wicked fun!
Camp Simcha Special really was transformed into a world under the water today. We had a humungous bubble machine in the gym pumping out foam non-stop. Within minutes we were covered in the stuff from head to toe.
