Geshem

Dear Geshem Parents,


We have just ended our second week of Camp Chaverim, and going onto the next one. On Monday we didn’t have many campers but still tried our best to have the best time and played a bunch of water games, with an extra hour in the pool and after watched the movie Princess and The Frog. Tuesday we had our Tie Dye Day, which is a day where all campers and counselors got to wear a Tie Dye. A quick reminder: our Yeladim Late Night is on July 14th. The campers will be playing water games and have dinner, then we will be singing a song in front of the fire for the parents to hear how good we’ve been doing on the stage performing in front of our campers and counselors. On Wednesday, we went to a magic show with the magician Dan the Magic Man. It was great! He taught us a couple of magic tricks to show our family and friends. All of the Geshem campers have been working so hard during swim lessons the past two weeks. Today we found out if they passed the swimming test and moved on to the next level. Thursday was an awesome day with snow cones! We could choose from Blue Raspberry and Bubble Gum flavors. Some of the campers mixed the flavors so it created a Bubble Berry blast! On the last day of the week, we had a water balloon fight against another Yeladim group. The campers are having a great time and we know each week has been getting better.


Sincerely,
Brandon Saburro (Senior Counselor)

Dear Geshem Parents,


The first week of summer was amazing. We started off on a good step, our theme this week was High Holy Days. We learned about Rosh Hashanah which is a Jewish Holiday commonly referred to as “Jewish New Year”. Monday, we played icebreaker games to get know each other. We also did a swimming test to see what level your child’s at, to see if they could go to the deep end or shallow. They all did great and listened to every step they had to do. We swim two times a day, at 10am which is a swimming lessons, and at 12pm which is free swim. They all participate even when the weather wasn’t the best. Parents can you please make sure you write your child’s name on everything they bring incase if they lose it someone can bring it straight to me or bring it to the lost and found! Tuesday we had a nature class and looked at pictures of different types of leaves, and the poison types like, poison ivy, sumac and oak. We also made nature guide books, so if they have learned something useful they can write it down. On Wednesday we had the bouncy bounce come to the JCC. Two kinds! One had a basketball hoop in it, and the other was a obstacle course. On Thursday, we had a great time when a DJ came for a dance party. After dancing that we performed a song called boomchickaboom. Why not ask your child to sing it for you, and you can join in and sing it as well. The best part of the week was Friday when we had the Counselors Olympics and a relay for the kids. Next week will have as much fun with more exciting activities.
