Summer 2017 has been off to a great start! Camp began on Monday with a trip to the movies. Despicable Me 3 was silly and enjoyable. Tuesday being the Fourth of July, Wednesday was Red, White, and Blue day. Many campers dressed accordingly. The first weekly barbecue at Valley Stream State Park consisted of activities like soccer, basketball, volleyball, and playground, and hot dogs and corn were served. Campers enjoyed watermelon for dessert. On Thursday, we travelled out to Long Island to Lazerland. Activities such as laser tag, dodge ball, and gaga were offered. Our campers wore white shirts on Friday for Oneg Shabbat services, which were led by Rabbi Uriel Romano. The updated prayer sheets were a noteworthy sight for many.
This week began with a trip to the Central Park Zoo. Smaller than the Bronx Zoo, we saw more animals by virtue of the shorter distances between each sight. We spent Tuesday in camp, save the morning trip to the Jewel Ave playground. Our group enjoyed activities like gym, swim, home base games, Wii, and Krav Maga. Today (Wednesday) we went on our weekly barbecue. The usual activities were offered. Many campers enjoyed the same activities as last week. Howard S. played intense basketball before and after lunch, while others, like Cameron D., spent time with friends in the playground. For lunch, hamburgers, corn, and watermelon were served. Upon returning to camp, we enjoyed a competitive game of "knock down the pin". The day came to a close on a more relaxed note in the air-conditioned Wii room. The first week and a half have been running smoothly!
The camper of the week is Miles J. Miles stands out by maintaining a positive attitude even during activities which are not his favorite. If he has a problem or needs anything, he respectfully approaches a counselor and calmly speaks. His basketball skills are thoroughly impressive, and he treats his fellow teammates with dignity and respect. Great job, Miles!
