Why so serious – The Dark Knight

August 19, 2014Leave a Comment

Today was superhero day!!! As you can imagine there was a multiplicity of superheroes(and supervillains) hanging around camp. I spotted Green Lantern chilling on a bench with the Joker,Batman,and the Flash.(many of these superheroes didn’t seem to be doing a very good job as evidenced by Thor hanging out with Iron Man and Loki).

This morning we were greeted by a special surprise guest…CC Sabathia!!! (for all of you baseball illiterates out there CC Sabathia is a star NY Yankees pitcher and helped lead them to a World Series in 2009 and will hopefully help lead them to many more). CC signed baseballs/jerseys/much random stuff (Even his own hat!) for campers. after EVERYONE got their selfies with CC (#butfirstletmetakeaselfie), he showed the whole camp how to throw a baseball (carefully because he’s injured) which of course was captured by our awesome media crew (shoutout to benji!).

We of course had a superhero themed activity: each camper created a supercharacter and then filmed themselves against a green screen for all sorts of cool effects. Camp Simcha superman anybody?

For a special activity we had trampolines!!!! (the cool kind)

P.S.“Iron Man”. That’s kind of catchy. It’s got a nice ring to it. – Iron Man

P.P.P.S. I couldn’t resist posting the picture of Dr Lenny

Final P.S. check out the awesome job our media team is doing in the picture below!

One final mention: Amitai and Jason getting your heads signed was a stroke of pure genius

Final final mention: Just in case you couldn’t tell I’m a major Yankee fan
