Bocoup Paranoia

The authors give a big shout out to their parents!

Today was Bocoup!!! It was super fun! Bocoup is when the Bogrim (the oldest age group) take over the camp for half of the day. The theme was Bocoup Paranoia, themed after a familiar cheer that we sometimes say after meals. This special day started when the Rosh, Sara called everyone to the moadon. She told us that one of the sheep had gotten out of their pen. The Bogrim challenged Sara, which then led to the chanichim kicking out the madrichim and madatzim. From there, the day consisted of the Bogrim being paranoid about a series of events, including thinking that Sara was plotting against us, that the food was poisined and that the US government was after us. 

After a great lunch, we had a water fight with sponges, water balloons and a slip n' slide which led into a pool party. Then, we had a carnival with stations that were geared towards preparing us to fight against the paranoia. Some of the stations were twister to practice agility, sword fighting with foam swords and target practice. Next, we went to the moadon, for a "plane ride" to escape from the US government. On the plane, we watched episodes of Tom and Jerry and enjoyed some icecream as a snack! After our flight, we went through an obstacle course to get to dinner. 

At dinner, we enjoyed live music and quessuritos (a quessadilla-burrito combination)--- they were delicious! After dinner, paranoia that the world was ending took over, so we all dressed crazy and went to a party and danced like it was the last night of our lives! We ended the night with vanilla and chocolate marble cake with cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberries. We wish every day was Bocoup!
