Hey everyone!
It was amazing to meet some of you in person on Visitors' Day! Despite the rainy weather, everyone had a great time with all of their visitors. Some people got to explore Nova Scotia as they left camp for the day, while others enjoyed camp's delicious burgers and activities as they hung out on camp grounds. It was really fun for everyone!
The day ended with a camp-wide talent show, where the best acts from each sectional talent show got to display their skills for the entire camp. From piano playing to singing to some mad yo-yo skills, everyone loved kicking back and watching the show.
It ended with a surprise - a marching band came in and played the theme song from Maccabia ... because the best four days at camp were just about to begin!!
The pictures and videos posted on the website give just a hint at the insanity and crazy fun times that were had during Maccabia. Everyone got to partake in the swim meet, regatta, track and field meet, giant camp-wide relay called the Maccabathon, team songs, banners, nature challenges, tug of wars, and lots and lots of cheering! Even though most of us were tired and had lost our voices by closing ceremonies, we all had an amazing time! In the end, it was the blue team that took it, with white in second, yellow in third, and red bringing up the rear.
After Maccabia ended, we had a relaxing Shabbat evening and fun-filled Saturday. In the afternoon, we were treated to a fantastic surprise - a local reptile show came to camp to share their animals with us! There was a gecko, a bunch of snakes, and a huge iguana! Campers and staff alike were calling it one of the best programs of the summer.
We can't wait for all the exciting things planned for the last couple weeks of camp ... still lots of time left to make memories!
Blog you soon,
