Welcome
back parents! This morning started off as it usually does with everyone waking
up and heading to the toren for hitkansut. The flags were raised and
everyone went off to breakfast which was scones and apple turnovers. Afterwards
everyone went to avodah and then we
went to our tzrifim to clean up. At
this point we also had to say good-bye to our Mini Session Bet campers that were
leaving this morning, a sad time indeed. Friends had to part ways with other
friends as some of their parents dragged them off of camp property and past the
concrete bridge. Those kids now have broken nails from having them drag along
the concrete, I didn’t want to take any pictures of their fingers since it was
too sad and disgusting.

Other
than kids leaving, we got a brand new shipment of Nitzanimot! We said hello to
the kids taking part in “Taste of Galil” which is a program where kids who are
younger than Amelimot get to stay
over at Galil until this Sunday to get, well, a taste of Galil, as the name
implies. They’re fun and cute and great to take pictures of.

It
started to thunder a bit during pish
so we had to cut instructional swim short this morning and also sports had to
take place indoors as it started to rain down a bit. For lunch we had lots and
lots of quesadillas, or as I like to call them, ‘dillas. After lunch the
Nitzanimot went down to the pool with me to have a pool party, and soon after
everyone else joined us since it was so hot and humid out.

Tochnit
erev tonight is Kangaroo Court, a traditional tochnit erev that we like to run,
not just at Galil, but at other Machanot as well. In fact I can distinctly
recall having it run for me while I was on MBI which is the Israel program for
Habonim Dror for kids the summer after having been in Bogrim. Essentially, the
Madrichimot have been getting away with pranking kids and such, and the
chanichimot get a chance at justice by having them go to court for their
crimes. There is always a punishment, and it’s usually pretty nasty.
Regardless, the kids will be pleased with the results of tonight’s activity.
