Tweens Update, Weeks 5-6

8/9/2019

Here at HJC Day Camp, the Grouchy Tweens' fifth week was filled with lots of fun, seeing the sky-scraping views at the Freedom Tower, gaming at Laser Bounce, and climbing/swinging from incredible ropes and zip line courses at the Long Island Adventure Park. This week took off with an amazing day at Splish Splash. All campers truly enjoyed the wave pool, Lazy River, milkshakes, and exhilarating water rides. Our Tuesday was full of swimming, Drama, Arts and Crafts, and more! Unlike other weeks, we experienced an indoor barbecue on Wednesday and loved having our activities all together at the HJC building. We enjoyed Thursday’s strikeouts at the batting cages and holes-in-one at mini golf, as well as Friday’s Fishing trip!

This week's Campers of the Week are Eve Miller and David Borukh. Eve is one of the sweetest and most respectful people you can ever meet; she has a funny personality and loves to have fun with everyone around her. David’s love for conversation never gets old, and we enjoy seeing him practice his part (The Lion) for the Drama Show, featuring The Wizard of Oz.

Looking forward to the coming weeks at camp has turned our Grouchy frowns upside down! The Grouchy Tweens' summer is soon coming to an end, but that doesn’t stop us from making the best of what we experience every day at camp! Our whole group is getting more and more excited for Color War next week!

10/11 Girls

This summer, the Ms. Piggies are giving it their all. The girls have added taking a dive at Splish Splash, seeing the sights at the Freedom Tower, riding riveting rollercoasters and zapping around at Laser Bounce to their list of Fun Adventures This Summer! Along with the amazing things the camp provides, the girls have also found a love for making lanyards! They all work together, sharing string and helping each other out with the designs. Their teamwork is admirable, from creating strategies in Gym or with learning the Family Day song that they sang so well! Even though camp will be coming to a close soon, the girls are determined not only to have a great time, but also to do it hand-in-hand with others.

Our Camper of the Week is Ella! She’s an inquisitive and curious girl who is willing to put her friends' needs ahead of her own! She is always smiling and ready to participate in whatever fun comes her way. Ella has bloomed tremendously since the beginning of camp. She’s confident in her work and her abilities. In Arts and Crafts, Ella creates without any worry of what others would think of it. She also compliments her fellow campers on their own creations and abilities! Ella is always ready to have a great time; her constant smile and good mood is so contagious!

On the very first day of the second session, not only did we get a whole group of new campers joining us, but we also went to the Freedom Tower! The Mr. Noodles, along with the rest of the Upper Camp, took a trip down to Manhattan, where we went up to the Freedom Tower and enjoyed an amazing view of the whole city. On Tuesday, we had another day in camp where we had a blast in activities like swimming and Jewish Culture, where we went on a Jewish holiday-themed scavenger hunt. On Wednesday, we had our first barbecue of the second session! Some of the boys got to enjoy an amazing nature walk with Howie, while others stayed back and enjoyed our usual activities like playground or Volleyball. On Thursday, the 10/11 Boys went to Laser Bounce. The boys enjoyed a variety of arcade games, as well as competed in huge games of Laser Tag. Friday was another day at camp full of fun, such as the Oneg Shabbat services and Krav Maga. Monday was a late-night trip to Splish Splash, where we went on some amazing rides and water slides, and ended the night off with some pizza for dinner.

Our camper of the week is Max Pinkhasov! Max is a favorite within the entire camp. He is extremely kind and respectful, and is not afraid of anything. He will go on any and every ride on trips, and never has any doubts. All of the staff and campers love him and he never gives anyone any trouble.
