Camp Simcha & Camp Simcha Special
Simcha Magic: Feel It In The Air!
It’s rough tough and muddy out there with brown day off to an army-sized start! The dining room was clad in climbing walls, camouflaged paint and an array of costumes from cookie suits to camels. We’ve had our fair share of leopard prints, Indian and cowboy vests and even a tree! Our girls have gone all out for a muddy, ruddy brown day extravaganza! The schedule looks promising with more grit and grime-filled activities still to come!
The gym was covered in blue mats, gallons of soap and foam-making machines that can only be described as, well, foam-making machines. Yes, it was a foam-filled ocean mania out there and we wasted no time soaping up with bubble Afros and snow ball spuds. Some of us became sea monsters lost in thick dollops of white, foamy fluff while others danced to the music while trying to side-step the perpetual foam showers and bubble tosses. The afternoon forecast definitely looks promising with more sea world action and bubble-blue chaos to come.
We started off our day underwater with an under-the-sea wonder world for blue day. Our girls were greeted by bubble machines, graceful mermaids and mysterious sea creatures as they ate breakfast this morning. For blue day, our girls have thought of the most original costumes from Superman shirts to Ranger jerseys and Madeline coats. The schedule for today looks busy and very exciting…
With tutus donned, face-paint applied and the costume closet pillaged, we took off on this very first welcome day of camp with a high dosage of music from DJ Laykay at the front gate, and a mottle of colorful, costume-enthused staff members. They greeted our campers as they made their way into a color-crazed Camp Simcha Special through a stampede of cheers and a tunnel of outstretched arms welcoming each girl to our first kick-off session of the summer!
Following an afternoon of “singing in the rain,” our girls learned the new theme song and the accompanying dance for this year’s color-crazed theme. Dancing in the dining room was followed by night activity, where we all gathered in the gym to watch the Skyriders, a trampolining trio, who double swirled and triple flipped while providing fantastic side comedy to officially integrate us into the flying, soaring. triple-hop-jump-and-touch-the-sky rhythm of Camp Simcha Special.

We wish you happiness, love, warmth, joy, success, and all you desire!!! Camp Simcha loves YOU!!!
HELICOPTER RIDES!!!!! If we thought flying on the magic carpet was an ‘uplifting’ experience, we were in for a real treat when Mary Poppins arrived to fly us high above the camp in helicopters. Campers were given the awesome opportunity to get a magnificent bird’s eye view of the Camp Simcha campus. One of Mary Poppins’ helpers revved the kids up with funny cheers as they eagerly anticipated their turn to fly high. As smiles spread from ear to ear and their eyes lit up with joy, each of our campers had a blast in their awesome helicopter crew shirts!!!!! Its a ‘Jolly Holiday’ here at Camp Simcha!
Grace “My favorite part of the show was when the Gizmo Brothers did tricks with the Chinese Diabolos!”
Sarah “My favorite part was when they played music by flipping up ping pong balls with their tongues! It was really cool!!!”
