New Basketball Court

BREAKING NEWS!


Rabbi Shenker informed me today that construction has been completed on a
NEW BASKETBALL COURT!

As soon as I have some pictures, I'll post them.
In the meanwhile, just to give you an idea of about where it is, take a look and you'll see there's a large area between the 1st base line of the baseball field, and Rt. 42. Part of that area is taken by the paintball field, nowthere will is a basketball court there as well.
Also coming is a new volleyball court, up in the woods behind the existing V-ball court, and hopefully a new baseball field- and if we're lucky- a gym? Could it be? Start the rumors... you never know.

Ohavia's Wedding

Just came home from Ohavia's wedding. It was awesome! We all had lots of JEP candy and chap-a-Nosh food.
Well, not really, but Yehuda still did hog the Mic, except when Shaya was able to pry it away from him.

exercise is good for you.

Anyone who's ever filled up the JEP van knows how true this is. In other news, Rabbi Shenker has announced that Brim will be biking to Wal-Mart daiy .

New recruiting video

I'm sure the aspiration of every Nageela camper and staff member is to help all of your friends come to Nageela. Unfortunately, we've been hampered by a general dearth of quality recuiting videos- the Nageela boys videos have been great, but how can we recruit girls with a boys video?

I think it would go something like this:

YOU: "See that trip to Hershey Park? Looks cool, doesn't it?"

GIRL: "Yeah, but how come I don't see any girls in the video?"

YOU: "Those are really girls, they just look like boys."

GIRL: "You mean that one in the red cheerleader's dress?"

YOU: "No, that really is a boy. A staff member."

GIRL: "And you like this camp because..."

or like this

GIRL: "How am I supposed to know anything about Nageela for Girls, if all these videos are full of boys?"

YOU: "Look beyond the boys. Imagine the same activities with girls."

GIRL: "OK, but I'm having trouble with the badadadadum part."



But now, Mordechai Shenker has produced a brand new recruiting video- all the best moments of the boys camp and the girls camp- put together. It will be published soon, and you can order them for your friends by calling or emailing the Nageela office.

Here's a rough sample of what the CD cover should look like.

GLORY DAYS

Here it is, the big announcement!

Camp Nageela is totally pumped to welcome back
