week of camp.

M O N D A Y

First and foremost, of course, are

the campers, who are making their

debut for the 2013 season. There areso many wonderful new faces. Our

brand new campus atKol Ami is not

only a breathtaking sight but feature

fantastic air conditioning, as well! Fo

Day One, Davening and learning wer

pushed off a bit for the announce-

ment of the new bunks. All of the

kids had to learn who their coun

selors were!After the announce

ments, Learning went smashing

with some of the bunks inishing

the entire Torah in just one ses-

sion. Was that Torah or Horah?

Either way they really accom-

plished a lot and we were very

proud. After Davening and Learn

ing each bunk went to its activity

mers helping teach sports to

ing that they met the great

Mrs. Doris Lipsky for Arts

and Crafts. Oh, did they

Craft some incredible art!

After camp, perhaps we will do an art

the day included Human Bingo. Did

you know thatAvromy P. has a bro-

ken leg? Well yeah I guess you did.

T U E S D A Y

Its a short one because of thefast,

but all the morefast-paced! Davening

bunks learning their rou-

tines! Afterwards Bunk

fun to play all day! And what is that in-

teresting object being built by the brand

Oh! A brand new Basketball net!!! Cant

wait to play! And why is that tire sitting

upon some benches by lunch? Oh, a

football tire throw. Cool! Who will be

able to score?

There was swimming for the older

tiful pool! Maybe one day they will let

Monday,Wednesdayand Friday

Sports is o to a winning start.The rst day of camp, every-

body was full of energy. FULL of

energy. So we played a fun, fast

-paced, high-energy game

called Fishy-Fishy. This got eve-

rybodys hearts pumping, from

shies to sharksand even the

seaweed.

The next day of sports was

SoccerMania. On sun-baked

Field #1, we learned some skills

and rules and had a blast. Thecampers got a kick out of play-

ing with their counselors and I

got a kick out of watching your

sons play. I am highly impressed

with how your boys follow

rules, play nicely with each oth-

er, and show overall good

middos. Your hard work at

home is shining on the eld.

It was finally

here! Trip Day at

Camp Achdus!

Week in review (continued from Page 2)sion goes to Hi Spot where we can

bowl the day away and score strikes

and spares. And no one bought any

soda or candy from the candy ma-chines. Right? We also go to Kendrick

park for lunch and sports. The young-

er division plays all sorts of games

like accapela musical chairs with a

twist. Land on the wrong chair and

you just might have to sing some

opera or do ten jumping jacks.

On Wednesday,

bunks Alef and

Cheswent to

Smith Memorial

Playground.Smiths play-

ground is situated on 6 /acres of open ields, wooded

terrain, and sloped hills

and is home to the century

old Ann Newman Giant

Wooden Slide, as well as oth-

er unique pieces of play

equipment, such as *The Spi-

ders Web and *The Spinning

Pyramid (*names of equip-

menthave been changed to

protect the innocent). After

over an hour of intensely

relaxing play, overheating

campers eagerly embraced a

once-in-a-summer oppor-

tunity to cool off in the cool,

revitalizingwaters of

anopened ire hydrant. Once

nearly dry, campers and

counselors boarded the bus

for the trip back to camp.

Nestled safely in our seats,

we communicatedwith the

road (because camp has a

strict no hitting policy). We

hadnt heard more than

three tummy growelswhen

we understood with ut-

most certainty that snack

time, with all of its becks

and calls, was formidablyupon us. "What was on the

menu?" you ask. "Was it

cookies?" Ah, cookies, a

favorite camp pastime! No,

it wasnt cookies. Was it

licorice? Camps often serve

licorice, you recall from

your own camp days. No, I

say. Wrong again. Oh, I

know what snack it must

have been! You gave out

freeze pops, right? Every

camp serves freeze pops!

Well, now youre on to some-

thing. The camp does have

freeze pops with no added

colors, which are given out

on special occasions. But, no,

that was not the snack of

choice on this trip. Then

what was it?! you ask, with

a tone of hopeless frustration

in your voice. I will tell you.

It was juicier than cookies,

more refreshing than Twiz-

zlers, and simply more nour-

ishing than any freeze pop

could ever hope to be. Your

sons, whose health you cher-

ish more than nearly any-

thing else in the entire

world, enjoyed, relished, and

downright devoured fresh

peaches and plums. (Kudos

to Mrs. Chani C. Goldstein

for shopping!) When every

last piece of fruit was eaten,

we said no, sang! borei

nifashos, led by expert vocal-

ists and musicians, Rabbi

Zecharya Michelsohn and

Yehuda Tenenbaum. Here,

at Camp Achdus, we love

your sons. And so, we take

care of them as though they

were our very own.
