Week Two of Session A Begins!
Now that Shabbat has ended, campers have returned to more high-energy programs. The units of Nitzanim and Chalutzim, which includes the bunks of B-Aleph, G-Aleph, B-Bet, G-Bet, B-9, G-9, B-10 and G-10, began their backpacking trips this morning with their counselors and wilderness specialist guides! Meanwhile, back at Camp, the SCITs (specialists and counselors in training) began their first day of working with campers, and helped in a range of ways from assisting with goat cheese-making, to leading parts of song session. Additional activities campers participated in that you can see below include tiny food clay sculpting at A & C, a super spy block, evening song session and more. We are so excited about the second week of Session A!
