See Your Friends at Ken Events!


After a great special day all of the chanichim were ready for the last normal day of first session. It’s hard to believe that first session is almost over but we still have some great activities planned for the last few days. 
Today, the tzophim had a great peula on the ken. The ken is our year-round program which includes 1 or 2 activities a month. The events that the ken organize are typically in areas that is easy for many chanichim to get to. However, for the chanichim that do live further away we have started kenim in those areas, such as New York. The tzophim had some great ideas for activities they would like to do this year in the ken and their counselors (madrichim) wrote everything down! 
In the afternoon, the Bogrim headed down to the high ropes course to tackle the Giants’ Ladder and the Zip Line. With lots of encouraging friends cheering from the bottom everyone successfully completed the zip line! The Giants’ Ladder was more challenging for some, but was also completed with the help of a partner! The Bogrim had a great bonding experience and worked together to accomplish challenging obstacles! 



During Sadnaot the Bonim were in the arts and crafts building (Beit Omanut). Their activity today was to use paint to express how they felt about their friends! Of course, most of the Bonim painted on each others’ faces, but all of the paintings came out beautifully! 
Tonight is very exciting for the Bogrim...it’s Bozman! Bozman happens once a summer and is an evening activity planned by the Bogrim. This is the Bogrim’s first opportunity to plan something for the entire machaneh this summer! They have been working hard all week to make sure that tonight is perfect for the chanichim. Bozman has a special theme that will be revealed to the machaneh tonight and all of the activities planned for Bozman are associated with that theme. The chanichim  have no idea that tonight is Bozman so when they find out after dinner they will all be so excited! Be sure to check out the pictures tomorrow from Bozman!
