Shalom Galil Parents!
It is a beautiful day here at Machaneh (Camp) Galil. We’re all very excited that the kids are here and we can let the fun begin. We had a sumptuous lunch of grilled cheese, tomato soup, broccoli, spinach salad, and chickpeas. The younger chanichim (campers) enjoyed instructional swim with our phenomenal lifeguards Josh and Arielle! During sports we played soccer, lacrosse, running, and even cheerleading, though not all at once. For our avodah, the chanichim split up into groups to help maintain our community here at Galil. One group helped feed the goats while another tended our Galil gan (garden). We split up by age group to learn about being part of a kvutsa, a Hebrew word which embodies the concepts of family and community. Kvutsa is the educational theme for our first week here at Galil. As we wrap up our first full day, we’re looking forward to an exciting campwide activity of “meet the madrichim (camp counselors)” so that the chanichim can learn more about their tzevet (staff).
‘Till Tomorrow,
Dusty and Nora
