Update week #6

By unicycleing back and forth to camp everyday I have really become fit… Its been a exciting 6 weeks so far waking up every morning and unicycleing to camp… I always look forward to being greeted by my smiley and caring counselors… I came to camp on Monday and my clownselors turned into pilots and flight attendants... And the next thing I knew we boarded the plane and we were off to ISRAEL! Pilot Chayala welcomed us all and off we went.. The flight attendance past out drinks and snacks to us all and with a little turbulence we were up and on our way! Workshops were a big hit… We made Dream catchers in art, to catch any bad dreams that might come! And made delicious challah with Chef Devorah Leah… and played a intense game of kickball with The Sports Guy. “Banging on the Pots and Pans…” “ Do you believe in magic…”… Tuesday we became FAMOUS! Mr. Lurence met up with us at CTN and we recorded all the cool songs he taught us...He really taught me how to use my vocal cords and let my voice talent shine! The Pioneers made us a ISRAELI festival.. We had pita’s and chummous, popcorn shwarma, face painting, moun bounce, take a picture over looking the holiday temple and much more. Wendesday we started off in a Israel mode… we sang by line up some israeli songs and made a puzzle of the holy temple with all our good deeds we do written on the back… Then workshops began by making delicious Apple cranberry crumble kugel which we made by non other then the famous renowned chef Devorah Leah! I then juggled my way over to dance were my clownselor taught me some cool israeli moves which I now have down pat… and played a serious game of chess and built the holy temple out of lego’s...and off to my favorite part of the day.. “Swimming swimming in the swimming pool…”.. Thursday was flying high!!.. We started off learning about Israel's 7 species and played a great enthusiastic game of fruit basket.. The next thing I knew we were in a real Israeli SHUK! I bought chocolate and potato burekas for 3 sheckel and potatoes and onions for 2 shekels… and bargained a few prizes as well. I really felt like I was in israel...Then we headed off to Hudson Mills were I was able to fish for fish.. I was trying to get a good piece of salmon for shabbos.. Maybe next time ill be more successful ;) I also had the opportunity to try and catch cool water creatures in a net… Friday topped it off.. We first braided our very own challahs which by now I have really gotten the hang of it. I now can do it basically blindfolded… and continued our fun creative funshops and had a great time spliching and splashing at the pool. How can I forget the part I wait for all week.. SHABBOS PARTY!! I cant wait for next week.. I am so sad its our last week of camp already.. Wow this summer really has been amazing!!! See you on Monday! Love, Winkie the Clown
