Winter Camp December 2023
Day 1
Shabbat is a day of rest – but not on camp it seems as it’s been manic today.
After the laser-quest, Beavers and Cubs all gathered in the hall for “movie night”. Beavers watched a bit of “Alvin and the Chipmunks” before being taken off to bed and then, guided again by this week’s sedra, we watched (and sung along to) “Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat”, accompanied with hot chocolate and popcorn.
If they don’t sleep well again tonight I’ll eat my hat (mind you, with the quantity and quality of food here I don’t need anything more!!! Thank you Melissa, Alan and Keith for your work in the kitchen for us this weekend.)
Day 2
Sunday continued as “full-on” as Saturday had been but, before that, I promised you the rest of Saturday’s news!!
This morning, after packing their stuff and cleaning / clearing their rooms we tucked into a cooked (eggy-bread – yummy!!) breakfast.
Cubs and Beavers then did aero-ball (a kind of trampoline volleyball), low ropes climbing and archery, for the first time taught by our very own, newly qualified, Robin Hood (literally – you’ll see!!) and his merry men, aka Michael, Howard and Perry.
Then it was time for lunch and the closing ceremony (incl. the last Cubs “Living The Law” award presentation of the year – well done Shoshana) before reuniting every child with their parents and tidying/cleaning up so it was like we were never there!!!
As usual, the Leaders wish to thank you all for lending us your kids for the weekend as it wouldn’t be the same without them. They’ve thoroughly exhausted us all but it’s a huge pleasure to see them all having such a great time and learning / improving / mastering so many new “Skills for Life”.
And finally – re-live a bit of camp by watching the camp video – click on the image below:
