Group Spotlight: 6/7 Girls
Written by Brianna Manginelli, Counselor
 |  |
This summer has been one of the most successful so far with the 6/7 Girls. They have been learning and gradually perfecting their skills in sharing and being kind to one another. However, it doesn't stop there as they have also learned with every specialist. The lifeguards have taught our campers how to swim and some of them have come so far that they no longer need a floatie! The Elastigirls love music with Zach and sing the songs we learn there throughout the day! BBQs are always fun; while most girls stay in the park, one week almost half of them played soccer and had a blast. To top it all off, every wonderful week ends with tumbles and jumps in gymnastics.
The 6/7 girls were fascinated by Finding Dory on their first trip of the summer and a few even dressed up as her for Pixar Day! They loved the Jewish Children's Museum and enjoyed doing things like pretend grocery shopping, learning about charity, and helping their peers--lessons which coincide with those learned in Jewish Culture. Adventureland was a success with the girls, despite them being a bit too short for some rides, they couldn't stop taking about how much fun it was. On our trip to the aquarium they couldn't get enough of the great Sea Lion Show as they jumped up and cheered throughout the entire show.
It is clear that the 6/7 Girls are having a great summer as smiles continuously spread across their faces and we can't wait for the second session!

Group Spotlight: 8/9 Boys
Written by Carlos Rodriguez, Group Leader
On the first day of camp, we saw that most of our campers knew each other from previous years, which made it easier to carry out activities and more so, for the children to spend time with their friends. One of the highlights of our summer was the arcade at Laser Bounce, as well as the history of arcades at Cradle of Aviation and the more recent trip of Adventureland. Although our kids seem to love the trips more than spending time back at camp, they have just as much fun. They like swim and gym the most, but also enjoy Arts and Crafts and Jewish Culture, especially when they cook and get treats at the ed of the day. We hope the summer continues full of days like these incredible moments.

These past four weeks have been the greatest time that we've had. We go on so many trips. At Adventureland, we went on so many rides - the Frisbee and Turbulence were crazy and exciting. The rides were so fast that I felt like the Flash! Also, the Museum of Natural History was fascinating with huge skeletons of dinosaurs and the big whale that was hanging from the ceiling. We can't wait to go on more trips and have the most fun ever in this camp.
Even when we don't go on trips, we still have lots of fun in camp. Whenever we see Ilan in Jewish Culture, we make some great treats. The cookie brittle that we made was delectable and tasty. After we make the treats, we always rush down to see Greg in the gym where we play basketball and knockout. It's always so much fun when we're playing Knockout and someone gets out, but at the end of the day, although competitive, we're all friends. Once we sweat in the gym, we all want to jump into the pool where Rob, Steve, Melissa, and Brian watch over us.
We want to say thank you to Howie, Matt, Suzanne, Rob, Brian, and Bacharach for grilling the burgers and hot dogs every Wednesday. Every BBQ is a blast when we go to the park and swing on the swings. We love Fridays too, when Rabbi Kogan teaches us a new song or we sing an old favorite. But most of all, we can't wait for Color War. We went to the right place for camp and hope to come back next summer!

Each week, we will be providing a Group Spotlight for one or two different groups in camp, and will ultimately highlight all of our groups by the end of the summer!
