Starting off Yellow Day with a Bang

July 29, 2016Leave a Comment

Pikachus, and bananas are running wild. Emojis are everywhere. And, be care to not run into a stray Big Bird. That’s right, its Yellow Day in Camp Simcha Special, and #ColorCraze16 has officially begun!

We had a surprise visitor this morning who really rocked the house. Lipa Schmeltzer was here and he put on a great show. Together with the amazing Camp Simcha Band, he had all of us dancing, jumping, and sweating. You just can’t help but smile from the tangible energy, and pumping music, coupled with Lipa’s fun personality. All of this and it is only noontime. I can’t wait to see what other fun this day will bring.

Visitors from France

July 28, 2016Leave a Comment

Tonight Camp Simcha Special was invaded by the French. The Twins from France that is! This duo put on a terrific show for the whole camp. They flipped, tricked, and gimmicked all over the gym, and it was awesome! Their funny style of entertainment had us all laughing the whole time. I got pretty nervous when they started juggling the fire, and swords though. One of them even swallowed a whole sword! They got our amazing campers involved as well. They got a chance to throw the juggling balls, try to blow out a blazing torch, and even got flipped by the twins too. What a great finish to an action packed first day of camp! I can’t wait to see what is in store for tomorrow.

Out on the Water

After a morning packed with dancing, who doesn’t want a chance to cool down in the water? If you have the need for speed, then a ride on the newly upholstered speedboat is perfect for you. Looking for something a little more relaxed, perhaps the brand new bumper boats are more your style. Kayaks are also an excellent choice. There is so much to do at the lake, that it is nearly impossible to be bored.

Welcome to Camp Simcha Special Boys Session 2016! We opened up camp with a bang with the arrivals. Each camper was welcomed into camp with his very own tunnel made up of hundreds of energetic and excited staff members itching to meet everyone. DJ Jon was blasting incredible beats for hours upon hours, and the energy was unstoppable. #ColorCraze16 is moving at full force, and we can’t wait to see what comes next!

The Great Thing About Malfunctioning Stars

July 19, 2016Leave a Comment

Maybe all the street lights were down or the moon finally burnt out, because nothing lit up like our very own campus tonight! It was a Glow Party in the social hall! Campers and staff alike were greeted by glow-in-the-dark face painters who prepped them for the late-night flash-bright soiree inside. Glow-in-the-dark beverages matched with neon streamers, glow sticks and all things highlighted decorated the dancing room. With the music cranked up and a high voltage energy stream rising from the dance floor, our girls lit up the night, ending Neon Day in full swing! If the stars were off tonight, we wouldn’t have noticed. Our Glow Party after dark ignited Camp Simcha like a mob of superstars on a moonless night. Our girls danced the house down!!!

Backboard Shattering At Breakfast

July 18, 2016Leave a Comment

Do you have what it takes to make it to the Big Leagues?! Are you up for grueling drills, demanding coaches and daily practices on the field? Well, WE ARE! At Camp Simcha, we’re dunking baskets at breakfast and celebrating Orange Day “NBA style!” For today’s starters, we’ve got Zahava on offense attempting her first shot of the season while Rivky – sporting an orange prisoner jumpsuit – defends the court.

And she scores! It’s all net folks and we’ve got ourselves some NBA material right here in Simcha! Call the scouts! From the top of the roster and with live updates from our sports specialists, the official Camp Simcha Basketball Championships are scheduled for this afternoon and anyone can play! But, if you’re more of a cheerleader than a basketball superstar, just grab a banner, shake a few pom-poms and join us on the bleachers for some serious Major League Cheering! It all starts today, Orange Basketball Day, and you certainly do not want to miss it!
