This is one of my campers from third session. Her name is Maya. She loves wicked, and Legally Blonde and plays cello. She was a great camper.
I'm trying to sum up camp in different sections. My favorite parts of camp are shabbat. Shabbat is when one gets another sole, that makes them holy. Shabbat is a time to reflect on the week and its a time to also rest from the busy work week. At camp we wore white and pretty ourselves up. In my cabin we would have competitions to see who could get completely ready for shabbat the fastest and I would open my hair shop called "jamie's beautiful super fantastic shabbat hair shop", which one of my campers made up. Each week a different age group got to lead shabbat.My favorite prayer during shabbat is the prayer where we bless our campers Y'varech Cha. This prayer is actually when parents bless their children. The melody we sing at camp is very pretty.
These are my campers from second session.
Another favorite part of camp is called Havdallah, its where we say goodbye to shabbat and hello to the work week. At our camps we would get in circles based on our unit(Age group) and there were 3 things that people would hold. A glass of wine, a candle, and spices. We would light the candle and then after the prayer and smelling the spices we put the candle into the glass of wine and this ends Shabbat. Then everyone goes around wishing everyone a good week.
