Farewell to first session

Today we said a bittersweet farewell to our first session chanichim. They all made it home safely and on schedule. We want to give our warmest thanks to all the chanichim, Madrichim and parents who made 1st session happen. It was was an amazing two and a half weeks!

A highlight from the last week was the Alice in Wonderland-themed Bocoup that Bogrim ran on Wednesday. The Bogrim (oldest kids) took over to lead machaneh through a magical journey paralleling that of the classic children’s story. Thanks to Bogrim for stepping up and demonstrating their amazing potential to be future Gilboa leaders.

We ended 1st session with our traditional Final Messiba (party), filled with dancing, bounce-house jumping, fortune telling and ice-cream eating. As always, final mess was a great success (and only a little bit messy).

We are now finishing our first day of inter-session, a fun and relaxing couple of days for the chanichim who stay for both sessions. The Madatzim are running inter-session under the theme of Cowboys vs. Aliens and they’re doing an impressive job. They transformed the chadar ochel into an intergalactic dining hall and ran a peulah about cliques and alienation in school. Keep up the good work, Madatzim!!

We are going to miss all the chanichim that were here during 1st session and we hope to see them again. The Ken (weekly events) Winter Camp and Reunion Seminars are structures through which chanichim can continue their involvement in the Gilboa community. We’ll be in contact with you about year-round Gilboa programming....
