Masada 3

MASADA NEWSLETTER

Dear Masada campers and parents,

Camp is now well underway and it has delivered some excellent events. This past Tuesday was Rock Star Day, with a surprise appearance by America’s favorite new pop star, Justin Bieber! Campers in every unit put on their favorite rock star gear, whether it was studded bracelets or pop star microphones, and there was even a performance by the Spice Girls at the end of the day (ask your child about their secret identities!). Needless to say, Rock Star Day was a very successful dress-up day, and an exciting beginning to Week 3.

This Thursday, also hosted the first Tzofim Overnight of the summer—campers enjoyed a fun-filled evening at the JCC, with a bonfire, extra swimming, campfire songs, and the chance to spend the night with friends. Campers certainly had a lively time, and hopefully everyone got more than a few hours of sleep, Friday was also Photo Day!

Masada is a great group this year, and we would especially like to commend all the campers for their stellar job changing faster in the locker rooms both before and after swimming—this has given us much more time to spend in fun activities like Sports and Music. In fact, in Music on Wednesday, everyone managed to pick out “Twinkle Twinkle”, “Old MacDonald”, and “Mary Had A Little Lamb” on the Boomwhackers (ask your child what those are!) without assistance—an impressive feat.

Next week promises more fun and excitement on every day, especially with the Tzofim Field Trip to the Saratoga Fair on Wednesday, the Israel Day & Food Festival on Thursday, and the C.I.T Carnival on Friday! These events will cement Week 4’s spot as the best week of camp yet.
Looking forward to another great week,

Mike K., Amy Y., Sarah N.
A few last reminders to parents:
- Please LABEL EVERYTHING! The Lost-and-Found is already overflowing with misplaced belongings, please help make sure what you send to camp comes home!
- We cannot stress how important sunscreen is. Counselors will apply sunscreen to the campers at least four times throughout the day; please make sure the initial application is completed before your child arrives at camp!
- Please be on the lookout for the permission slip for Wednesday’s Saratoga Fair field trip!
