Hi! Now that we're two full weeks into camp, here's a little update about what's been going on. As always, the best way to get up to the minute info is by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
Last week, we celebrated July 4th in good, old fashioned US tradition, with a baseball game, fireworks and BBQ. The baseball game ended in a walk-off grand slam, so it doesn't get much better than that! We also had a wacky mall scavenger hunt, where, among other things, campers had to find some of our staff members who were dressed to blend in subtly (or in some cases, not so subtly) to the mall clientelle.
A large part of camp, of course is our sports league, and the teams of Fungus, Warts, Moles and Athlete's Foot (yes, I did really just say that) are competing hard every day and looking forward to playoffs beginning Thursday.
We have a new initiative in camp called "Try New Stuff" (TNS). Campers who do something for the first time get up on the wall. Entries have included a camper saddling his own horse, using the high diving board, and even a camper learning to read Hebrew!
Last night we broke out Color War, an intense 2 day competition, and as we speak, the teams of Orange and Blue are on their way back from their aqua races, and looking forward to tonights grand plays.
Here are a few scheduling updates:
We leave camp on our overnight roadtrip on Sunday morning, so if you need to reach our camp office or if you have mail to send, please do so by Friday.
We'll be meeting for a pick-up/ Ice- cream party at Paseo Verde Park on Monday at 11am (luggage will be across the road at Ahavas Torah Center).
Arizona campers will then continue on with van transportation to both Phoenix and Tucson.
We wish you have-a-Nageela day!
Rabbi Dani Locker
