Hi, my name is Olivia! I’ll be taking over the blog because
today the Bogrim (oldest age group) took over camp! The day started like any
other normal day with waffles for breakfast after hitkansut (flag raising).
Then, the kids headed off to avodah (work). Next, we had our daily nikayon tzrif (cleaning our bunks). This is where the legitimate realization kicked in
for the Bogrim that today, after days and late nights of hard work… Bocoup was
today!
Bocoup is when Bogrim, the oldest age group, runs machenah
(camp) for a little over half the day, just like madrichim (counselors). We
spent over a week planning, budgeting, making tons of decorations, and working
together as a team for today. During nikayon (cleaning our cabins), the bogrim
did some final touch ups for the surprise event. This lead into pish. Pish is
an activity we have on normal days where each age group has a meaningful
discussion. After this, the Bogrim broke bocoup to the entire camp that we were
kicking out the madrichim (counselors).
The theme of Bocoup
was Snow, thus making “Snowcoup”. Bruno, another chanich (camper) in Bogrim,
played the roll of snowman. It started with Segev (our rosh/camp director)
meeting everyone at the basketball court and telling all the kids that they had
to stay in their bunks for 48 hours due to severe weather and snow warnings. The
Bogrim appeared and protested, saying that kids should have FUN during snow
days! This led to kicking out the madrichim (counselors). It resulted in a fun
shaving cream fight and the learning of our snowcoup song. Then, the kids
headed off to a ski lodge (the chadar, where we eat lol) and ate a yummy lunch
of blintzes, hash-browns, mac n, cheese, and roasted cauliflower with a side of
hot chocolate. We had some chofesh (free time) and then a carnival.
Out of nowhere came a Yeti. The yeti stole the magic
snowman. The day rolled into a scavenger hunt, which lead to a haunted house.
When kids were finished with that they got delicious cinnamon rolls. Kids had
time to relax and get into bathing suits so they could enjoy a fun pool party
hosted. The yeti showed his apology by hosting a dinner. Dinner was baked
potato bar and quesadillas, followed by dessert of milkshakes. This eventful
day ended with a messibah (party) hosted by the yeti to show that enemies can
become friends. Tomorrow will resume to being a normal day with a well-deserved
sleep-in for the bogrim (oldest age group). Becca will see you tomorrow!
