Summer 2012

Our last full day on Michlelet has come to a close! 🙁 We enjoyed chaburas, classes, and activities for the last time and tonight had our end of the summer banquet. We watched a video recapping the whole summer, heard reflections from different campers, heard performances from choir and dance, and more! We also received gifts from the camp, our tshirts and sweatshirts, and our yearbooks. It’s hard to believe that we’re almost at the end!!!

Thank you for sharing your daughters with us this summer, it was truly an unbelievable once in a lifetime experience! We hope you enjoyed our blog and pictures!

Yesterday was spent on campus, enjoying our classes, chaburas, and activities which will soon be coming to an end 🙁 We were also lucky to be visited during free time by Hadaya jewelry and TeeLee shells, heard from our incredible guest speaker, Chana Shukrun, and had a blast at our night activity – Human Board Games!

Today we had our last tiyul day of the summer. We began this morning with packing food packages and writing personal notes to be delivered to IDF soldiers. We were privileged to then travel to an army base in Gush Etzion to hand deliver these packages ourselves and thank our soldiers for all they do to protect us. After that we had fun crawling through the famous Bar Kochba caves, and we finished up with a trip to the beach! After returning to camp, we had dinner and then a bonfire with singing, smores, and scary stories of course! Stay tuned for more from our final week on Michlelet.

We had a fabulous 3 day tiyul up north which included building rafts on the Kineret in Teveria, Shabbos in Tzfat, a motzei shabbos cruise, and kayaking down the Jordan River today!

It’s hard to believe the last week of camp is here…can’t wait to make it the best one yet!

Today was exciting as our chesed trip actually came to us today instead of our usual traveling around, as we ran a carnival for kids from a day camp in Sderot. For our guest speaker this evening we were privileged to hear from Rabbi Hadar Margolin, and then we continued on to a most scrumptious night activity – Cupcake Wars! Our shana bet also enjoyed a special night swim later on in the evening. We are now all busy packing up to spend shabbos in Tzfat! Stay tuned for more!

Have a beautiful shabbos!

We had a fantastic day on campus today with classes, chaburas, and activities. We enjoyed hearing from 3 special speakers: Rabbi Steven Burg, Dr. David Luchins, and Rav Mayer Twersky. Tonight, we had our annual Michlelet NCSY vs. NCSY GIVE basketball game! Check out our latest pictures to see the awesome Michlelet jerseys which we received today to get into the spirit! Both teams played an amazing game but only one team could win…and it was us with a score of 21-12!

Tomorrow we will IY”H be hosting our chesed wedding on campus! Mazel Tov!

We had an INCREDIBLE past 2 days competing for victory in Michlelet Color War 2012!!! The teams were blue (shamayim) and yellow (aretz). Competitions included everything from sports to panoply to an apache relay with the highlight being tonight’s color war finale where each team presented their banner, camp gift, stomp presentation, Hebrew song, and team theme song.

We are looking forward to a meaningful Shabbos Chazon here on campus as we prepare for Tisha Bav coming up on Sunday.

Have a wonderful shabbos!
