Camp Simcha Special Day 4- Italy!

July 2, 2015Leave a Comment

This morning when walking into the dining room, one who didn’t know probably would’ve thought they were really in Italy! With a gondala in the middle of the room, italian songs playing, and gorgeous pictures of the Italian streets hanging it was stunning. There were tables with people dressed as waitresses walking around. Everyone had such creative costumes, such as pizzas, Mario’s and Luigi, noodles, chefs, ninja turtles, and much more. Right after breakfast, each camper made their own pizza with italian sauce and cheese! They’ll be fresh out of the oven just in time for lunch!

The schedule has some very exciting SURPRISE activities planned and we can’t wait to share them with you soon!

Then end of an incredible day in Mexico!!

We had a fun packed afternoon today: During learning groups we learned about thanking those around you and being a kind person. Then every camper had the opportunity to draw smiley faces and eat cookies for snack time 🙂
In the recording studio a group of 4 campers were beautifully singing “Let It Go”, from the famous movie Frozen! These girls of Camp Simcha Special really do have incredible voices! Many girls even got solos to sing, as well as a duet!!

Then for our super mexican dinner, we had Tacos, chili, tortilla chips with salsa, and more! Our fiesta was topped off with wonderful performances by our talented campers. There was an original play by Niya, Eliana, and paige. Chaya and Dawn entertained us with mexican dancing. Charna showed off her choreographic skills in a unique dance. To finish off the fantastic mexican day, we roasted marshmallows and sang by the bonfire!

We can’t wait for tomorrow’s theme….. there’s so much in store!!!!

According to schedule there is fun mexican decorating activity which everyone is looking forward to! Thank goodness for this gorgeous weather and we can’t wait for it to continue 🙂

Camp Simcha Special Day 3-Mexico!!

When we walked into the dining room today, it was as if we were transported to Another country!!! With sobreros, colorful flags, and rainbow ponchos decorating the floor ceiling and walls, one really felt as if they were in MEXICO! With a delicious breakfast (as per usual) the mexican theme was in the air. Even one of our very own camp Simcha campers- who is from Mexico city, spoke a bit of Spanish for us! Then there was another raffle this morning and Zloty and Yemina won a prize! It was an exciting morning for everyone, and can’t wait to see what else is in store for the rest of the day 😉

Day 2- China’s night activity!!

For night activity we were privileged to watch authentic Chinese dancers! Dressed up in amazing costumes, they performed the sword dance, lion dance, napkin, fan, red ribbion, and other beautiful dances! Even a mongolian old age dance! It was gorgeous to watch and really learn about the Chinese culture.
After the dances, 7 lucky campers were chosen to get up on stage in front of the entire camp simcha special to learn and perform the ribbon dance themselves!

Cant wait to see what else is in store for tomorrow and what exciting things we will have!
