The last Shabbos of the first session was quite special! Campers were up bright and early to partake in the Shabbos-Mevorchim-Tehillim and the rewards involved in showing up early; followed by a lively dining room-including many farewell songs as we began saying good-bye to our departing campers; mishanyos- bal-peh and seder nigunim. Many bunks worked really hard to win Shabbos Competition. Our lucky winners, bunks Yud and Chof Gimmel. Both winning bunks are heading out to go karting today – as the reward for an amazing Shabbos!
Last night, campers in sections B+ and C were treated a special Shnitzel Event! A great start to another amazing week here in camp!
The buses rolled into camp, last night, after an amazing day at six-flags-La-Ronde-Amusement Park! Campers and staff enjoyed every minute in the park, on the many rides and roller coaster, they knew so well – and several new attractions that were added for this year! Everyone met for Mincha and a delicious pizza & fries dinner, outside the park. They returned to enjoy the rides till closing time. They were each given a freshly baked “black and white cookie” as they lined up to board the buses back to camp. BH for an incredible grand trip day!
Camp was treated to a late revile this morning, to help everyone catch up on some much needed sleep.
In the meantime the masmidim enjoyed our quiet grounds, including a lakeside barbecue and water front activities.
Looking forward to an amazing Shabbos, our last Shabbos of first session; as we sadly bid farewell to our departing campers.
Have a good Shabbos.
After a day of races, team songs, mishnayos bal peh and so much more; Bog War ended last night with the conclusion of the third play. Campers thoroughly enjoyed watching all their plays and are anxiously waiting to hear who the winner is.
Early this morning, following davening and breakfast, campers of all departments of camp, loaded the buses for the grand trip of the season. BH the weather continues to cooperate with us, and we are looking forward to an amazing trip-day today! This special trip is the only one, with all departments of camp together!
Our waiters were treated to their very own outing – a go karting trip. A nice time for them to relax and enjoy.
Masmidim enjoyed a special bon fire last night, prepared for them in the woods by their devoted staff.
Mazel tov to Baruch Paris from Crown Heights and Mendel Danzinger from Russia, upon their Bar Mitzvahs today, celebrated here in camp with family and friends. Mazel tov and lots of Nachas to both families.
BOG WAR is here. Following the break out by lunch, campers hurried to the shul for the division of the teams. With an enthusiastic staff, the spirit was incredible, as the generals and others were ushered into the shul! Campers were divided into the three teams of “Yisroel” “Oiraysa” and “Kudsha Brich Hu”. The three long lines chanting the pesukim at line up, three long tables in the dining room, and three sections in shul, seem to be a really close race. One play was performed last night with the other two to be presented this evening. Certainly an exciting war going on here in camp.
In the meantime the masmidim took a brief break to enjoy a go karting trip and some local shopping.
Section C has been taking turns disappearing from camp in the early morning hours for an enjoyable runaway. Yesterday Kevutzahs gimmel and Yud and today Kevutzahs Ches and Alef- were out early – to the La-Belle picnic area. Kevutzah Daled had their time out by boat – across the lake enjoying breakfast and tubing!
Mazel tov to our two bochurim celebrating their Hanochas tefillin here in camp today. Mazel tov to Yankel Lieberman from West Hempstead NY, and Dovid Okonov from Buffalo NY. Mazel tov to both families!
