Four shiny, Italian, race cars raced into camp! Campers were able to take pictures in the cars while the music blasted and then they even got a chance to drive around in the cars! After some more exciting activities, we had our first race of camp. We each had to squeeze tomatoes and see which division made tomato juice the fastest. The empty tomato shells were thrown onto our wonderful division heads. The winners of this race were the Heros and Goldie won for the best squirted counselor! Can’t wait to see what’s for night activity!
Continuation of Italy Day
We all got chef hats and got to make our own pizzas in honor of Italy Day! Afterwards, everyone went off for more activities. Candle making, Pottery, Ropes Course, and Punch Art were just a few of the super fun activities that we got to do. Continuing with our Italian day theme, walking into the lunchroom was like stepping into the streets of Italy. We were greeted by Miriam playing the violin for us. We stood on line to make our own custom pizza, pasta or salad! We enjoyed some opera singing and then everyone got to come onto the dance floor to sing and dance. There are still so many more fun activities planned for the day, we can’t wait to share them with you!
Day 2: Italy!
We were awoken to the sounds of Italian music playing over the loudspeakers. Entering the dining room, we felt as if we were in Italy itself. Greeted by gondolas, Italian songs, and a giant picture of the Italian streets, we enjoyed a great breakfast. Campers got to have their faces painted afterwards. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the day has in store for us!
Day One Coming to a Close
After welcoming the campers into Camp Simcha, many headed off to the lake for some special water activities. Soon after, we headed to night activity where we had a fabulous time learning all the cool and different ways to jump rope. Campers got a chance to show off their skills on stage. They were amazing! Jumping rope backwards, forwards, two at a time, and many other tricks, they all kept us fascinated with all their skills. What a great way to end the day at Camp Simcha! We can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
Welcome To Camp Simcha 2015
Campers are beginning to arrive, greeted by colorful costumes, booming music, and huge smiles. Everyone is dancing together on the stage and blowup balls are being thrown all around. The excitement is felt all around and everyone is thrilled to start the session with all of the amazing campers and the amazing activities that are in store.
Orientation
Counselors arrived today and we had a great day listening to Rabbi Kunstlinger, Rivky, and the Feiners letting us know how Camp Simcha is run and getting ready for the campers. We ran into the costume closet, excited to get dressed up for arrivals day. We can’t wait to meet all the campers tomorrow!

Day Eleven: India
What an incredible final day! The ultimate bubble party, banquet, video presentation in the social hall and goodbyes, Simcha knows how to end a summer!
After lunch, we had the ultimate bubble party outside! There was a massive tarp by the baseball field filled with bubbles and we had a non-stop epic party!
All the workshops were open today, so campers could make the final adjustments to their projects. The amount of candles, pottery, leather-works, and more going home tomorrow is crazy!
For dinner we had our end of the session banquet. There was beautiful decor and the food was fantastic! There were carving stations, franks n’ blanks, ‘taters, and tons more. A big thank you to Chef Binyamin!
Following the banquet, we went to the social hall for one last special presentation. We recapped everything that happened in camp this summer in our end of camp video. Thank you media crew, it was awesome!
Among the many wonderful campers that graduated tonight, Yosef inspired us with a beautiful song he wrote describing his experience in Camp Simcha Special. It was extremely heartwarming. We performed our dance one more time and by now everyone is an expert! Ending off the night we went outside of the dining room for an incredible fireworks display, and afterwards we said our goodbyes to our counselor, rotators, and friends.
Goodbye,
Moshe
Day Ten: Shabbat
Shabbat was lots of fun! We had Simcha bingo where campers got to win some epic prizes like radios, an iPod, tablet, and more! Later we had ‘Comedy Sportz’ where our division heads faced off in improv comedy. The campers got to vote for whoever they thought was funnier. It was hysterical! After Shabbat, we had more dancing in the dining room and afterwards we had an amazing bonfire!
All of our workshops are going to be open tomorrow so that campers could finish their projects before they go home. It’s going to be a busy day!
Have an awesome week,
Moshe
