Here are some more updates from the past few days:
We took advantage of our environment with our first tiyul (hike) on Tuesday. Several hiking trails are directly to connected to our campsite, so the beautiful wilderness is right at our fingertips! We hiked l’phi shichva (by age group) and returned home in time for a tochnit erev in which all of machane went on a Tikun Olam (repairing the world) journey around the world. It was truly a day of journeys!
We had our second Shabbat with the traditional Rosh story, schnitzel, soda, after-dinner shira (singing) and rikkud. Musical and medurah reached new levels of greatness this week, with all kids from Sayalim to Madatz performing songs and skits. During chugim on Yom Shabbat we began the Gilboa Journal, a compilation of creative writing and art done by all chanichim.
Sunday was Yom Gilboa and it was a great success, if we do say so ourselves. We all enjoyed meeting the parents of our chanichim and showing them our new campsite. Parents got to experience the beauty of Bluff Lake by kayaking with their kids. Later, each kvutsah performed a shir (song) for the parents. The performances culminated in the whole machane performing ‘Splendor Bridge’ and ‘Ani ve Atah’ with accompaniment from our talented orchestra. A few eyes were glazing over by the end.
Stay tuned for more posts....
