Ah-Raiot Week 6

Dear Ah-Raiot Campers and Parents,

The sixth week of camp has flown by and was filled with many exciting activities. We had our second and final Late Night of the summer and the kids had a great time eating hot dogs and watermelon and singing songs by the imaginary bon-fire in the auditorium. Tuesday, was Pajama Day, which was a huge hit. The campers really enjoyed being able to spend the day in their comfy PJ’s.
The theme of the week was Sukkot and Simchat Torah. We spent theme time learning about these important Jewish holidays. We read a story about Bubbe Isabella, and how she invited her friends in to her Sukkah. This helped us learn about the holiday of Sukkot, and how we celebrate in. On Tuesday, Dan helped us decorate fruit for our very own Sukkah. Later in the week, we learned about Simchat Torah and celebrated it by having a freeze dance party.
In music, we all learned to play “Roll the Ball” and how to dance the “Alley Cat” which we performed at Shabbat. The third session has come to an end. Please make sure to look for your campers swim level certificates in their backpacks.
Next weeks is the annual camp favorite COLOR GAMES! All the groups will be assigned a color early next week. Please make sure to send your child wearing their teams color on Thursday and Friday. Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Jill, Devin, Millie, Anka, and Mikayla
