After a busy and fun special day, everyone is ready for Shabbat. To kick off a relaxing weekend, the Bogrim headed to the movies today to see the new Batman movie! This was a complete surprise and they had no idea where they were going until the busses pulled into the movie theater parking lot.
Back at camp, the Taste of Galil campers (chanichim) helped the kichen staff (tzevet mitbach) to braid the challah we will be having for dinner tonight. They learned how to make the dough, prepare the dough in strips to braid, and of course how to actually braid the challah. They all turned out great and they are excited to show the rest of machaneh what they worked on this morning!
The sayarim had a really great CIT activity (madatz peula) about team work. They started out by playing various games alone which made it really difficult to win or even get started. In the end they came to the decision that it would be better to work together as a team.
The tzophim had a fun madatz peula about the 5 pillars of Habonim Dror. Because we are also in the midst of the Summer Olympics, the madatz incorporated part of the Olympics into their peula. The tzophim split into 5 groups, each representing a different pillar. Each group had to come up with a synchronized diving routine (on dry land) that represented that pillar and present it to the rest of their age group (shickvah).
On Friday afternoons, we have Game of the Week (mischak hashvua). This happens after Hyde Park and before Shabbat begins. Every week is a different sport, and this week the sport was ultimate frisbee! This is completely optional for the chanichim but many of them usually come to play. If there are enough counselors (madrichim) and Madatz playing, the chanichim like to play Madrichim vs. chanichim. There are always spectators cheering their friends on and a madrich on the microphone shouting the play-by-play.
We are looking forward to a relaxing Shabbat! Shabbat Shalom!
