Myself and my fellow JCUSA staff: Daniella, Hayley, Henry, Alex L, Emma and Lucy have been trying to bring a British twist to camp. Recently, we led a British song session with classics from Jessie J, Busted and S Club 7 – the campers loved it! Alex L is also leading a Shabbat service this week.
Just yesterday was Maccabiah, a day filled with competitions such as Gaga tournaments, staff skits and the famous “Apache relay”, which finishes with a pie eating contest. Everyone gets dressed up in their assigned team colour and chants for their team. My team was the Gold team and although we tried our best, we didn’t win! The ruach is so high throughout the day, except for the “silent lunch”, which has been my favourite meal so far as none of the campers can speak. Overall it has been one of the best days at camp so far!
