Gahlim 3

Dear Gahlim Parents and Campers,

Another week at camp has come to an end. As we look back and remember what we did this past week, we also get excited for next week to come. Throughout the week at Theme Time with Shana we learned a lot about Passover. We learned why the Jewish people celebrate Passover and also activities the Jewish people do during Passover. Gahlim’s favorite activity was our search for the Afikomen. The search for the Afikomen was a scavenger hunt to find matzah hidden around camp. Gahlim truly enjoyed this, especially because we all got lollipops at the end!

This week we also had our very first Yeladim Late Night! Our Gahlim counselors were very proud as we all attended, listened well and sang very loud at our bonfire! Also this week we had ROCK STAR DAY! We all dressed up and it was a total blast! Today, we had our Group Photo. We all loved how our campers did a great serious picture showing their beautiful smiles and also how we had a fun silly picture. We hope that these pictures turn out great!

Every week we continue to improve in our swimming lessons and free swim. Hopefully at the end of the session next week, we will be able to have more blue bracelets. We cannot wait to swim with a lot of you in the deep end soon!

Next week, we are looking forward to Tisha B’Av, which is a Jewish day of mourning that commemorates the destruction of the two Temples. We are also excited for Israel Day/the Food Festival on Thursday the 22nd and we have our CIT (Counselor in Training) Carnival Friday the 23rd, which should be really exciting!

We are sad to see some of our campers leave this week but we are really excited for the rest of you to stay and have another great week with our Gahlim counselors.

If you have any questions feel free to contact the JCC at 377-8803 and someone would be more than happy to answer your questions.

Thank You,
Your Gahlim counselors
Leah, Jacob and Mark
