Splash Mountain

August 14, 2017Leave a Comment

Whoa, what a day! Today is Splash Mountain, which means lots of water. We started with a bubble run, which saw everyone running through camp and playing in different colored bubble stations which had been set up throughout camp. The bubble run ended on the tennis court where a massive bubble pit was set up, and we had an awesome time dancing while covered in bubbles! We moved on from there to an all-out water fight, with each division having it’s own color water to shoot with! Meanwhile, our oldest division is off on an awesome trip to a Subway Series baseball game!

It’s been an awesome day so far! We had a visit from retired Mets player Nelson Figueroa, who signed baseballs for all of the campers, and then gave a pitching clinic so campers can pitch like the Majors! Stay tuned for the rest of today’s exciting activities!

What a magical day! We started the day with an amazing Triwizard Tournament, a contest between two divisions wherein they compete to gather enough water to put out  campfire, allowing them to begin finding clues to free their division heads, who are locked up. their division heads then lead them to their divisions dragon who gives them clues to help them find the Quidditch Pitch, where everyone takes turns shooting the Quaffle into hoops! Later in the day, we had a concert from the world famous Avraham Fried!!!

Wow, what a night! First off, we had the Farewell Banquet, which was an awesome outdoor buffet, with a carving station, and tons of other delicious foods. After that, everyone gathered in the social hall for the camp video, put together by our amazing media team. when the video ended the whole camp went down to the lake for an enormous fireworks display!

It’s a bittersweet day in Camp Simcha. We started off the day with an awesome Wild West style Shootout, which gave all of the campers the opportunity to shoot paintball at western-themed targets. after lunch, we started packing up to leave camp 🙁 . To make this day a bit sweeter, we’re about to get a visit from a soft-serve ice cream truck,! Stay tuned for news on tonight’s banquet!
