Goodbye, Session B!

August 05, 2021

By Camp Tawonga

Staff led Session B campers through the “Tunnel of Love” this morning, sending them onto buses and eventually back home, to the “real world.”

Last night, all of Camp gathered for a memorable closing at the stage where many bunks performed songs, poems and skits. We discussed different ways of “bringing Tawonga home” as everyone prepared to wrap up this special session.

This morning, everyone gathered by Unit to share memory sheets and exchange contact information. As campers walked through the Tunnel of Love, they hugged staff members goodbye and shed tears, reminding one another that there will always be next summer.

Thank you so much Session B families, (and any other friends tuning in) for keeping up with the blog and sharing your kids with us this summer. We can’t wait for you to hear some heartwarming stories from these amazing campers upon their return.

P.S. Families of Session B campers will receive an email next week with a link to higher resolution blog photos, as well as Unit photos.

P.P.S. We hope you will save the date and join Tawonga on September 6 for our annual outdoor Erev Rosh Hashanah Celebration! Welcome the Jewish New Year with us under the Redwoods of Oakland’s Joaquin Miller Park.

You can also stay in the loop on Tawonga happenings on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

Farewell for now, Tawongans!
