Caribbean Day Comes to an End

August 17, 2015Leave a Comment

We had a really great luau at the pool where we splashed around in the pool and had lots of fun! Afterwards, we had hair cutting ceremonies for some of the campers. We had play tryouts and everyone was amazing! What a great day! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Caribbean Day Part 3

August 16, 2015Leave a Comment

We made stunning necklaces in glass fusion today! After many fun activities, we had a balloon launch in preparation for our music video. Everyone made a wish as they let the balloons soar into the sky. It was really fun and exciting to watch the balloons become smaller and smaller as they soared higher and higher! We had amazing Hawaiian chicken for dinner. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for night activity!

Caribbean Day Continued

We jumped into a giant pit full of bubbles and had bubble fights in it. Keeping with our Caribbean theme, in arts and crafts, campers made seashell jewelery, sand art, and picture frames and got to play with sand. At lunch today, we got to go to the tiki bar and get smoothies! With all this going on, and the colorful costumes, it really feels as of we are in the Caribbeans!

Day 5: Caribbean Day

Today our superstars were awoken with a top secret envelope next to their beds. They had a scavenger hunt that led them to the fire pit where they had a cookout for breakfast! Aviva came with the guitar and everyone danced to the hokey pokey and then got special superstars headbands! The dining room was all decked out in the Carribbean theme and we were greeted by Hula girls dancing to Hawaiian songs. Everyone was dressed in hula skirts and colorful flower headbands and necklaces. We got our faces painted and made our way to the exciting activities that the day has in store for us!

Our first Shabbat in camp was amazing! After our usual pre-Shabbat pictures, we had kabbalat Shabbat and ate a tasty Shabbat meal followed by oneg Shabbat with Rabbi Simcha Scholar. At lunch today, Ruchama liba told us how she went on the ropes course for the first time in the four years that she has been coming to Camp Simcha. She said I am strong and I am going to over come my fears. She is so amazing! Sarah spoke about how amazing Camp simcha is and all that she has gained here. We are all so inspired from her speech! After lunch, we enjoyed an amazing skit and a magic show from the amazing David Blatt! Afterwards, David showed us how to do a few tricks! Following Shabbat we had dancing. What an amazing time we had! Can’t wait to see what this week has in store for us!

More From Our Day in Africa!

August 14, 2015Leave a Comment

On the lake today, we got to ride on jet skis! Picking up some quick snacks from canteen, we headed off to our exciting activities! Rivky said that her favorite thing to do in Camp Simcha is the candle making! Everyone makes the most amazing candles there! We headed to the gym where we were given papers with pictures of counselors dressed as animals and had to hunt for them. Once we found them we shot them with our water guns. What a fun way to cool down! We are all having a blast!

Continuation of Our Day In Africa

August 14, 2015Leave a Comment

After our fun activities like pottery, ductigami, glass fusion, and many others, it was really refreshing to jump into the pool on this hot day. As we made our way to lunch, we were greeted by the sounds of African music and the banging of drums. After eating our delicious lunch, we danced to the music and made our way to our next activities.

Day 3: Africa Day

August 14, 2015Leave a Comment

Lions and tiger and bears, oh my! Today is Africa day! We danced into the dining room to the waka waka and were greeted with zebras, giraffes, lions, and many other safari animals. We got to sit on the jeep and take pictures with all the animals. We got our faces painted, ate a yummy breakfast, and went out outside excited to see what special activity was. We were not let down! A giant helicopter flew into camp and we were able to ride in the helicopter! It was so cool to be able to see the camp grounds from up high! What a great start to a beautiful day at Camp Simcha!

Italy Day Night Activity!

August 13, 2015Leave a Comment

For night activity, the great Eric Wilzig came to camp and gave us a performance to remember. His tricks kept everyone on their toes wondering what would happen next and how he could possibly pull off all the tricks. From guessing which card a girl was holding to making another’s ring come out of a prize dispenser, he definitely kept us all well entertained. Afterwards, while all the other campers went off to bed, the Heros enjoyed a nice bonfire where they roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. What a great day! We can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us!
