Sorry about that six-day silence! Minor maladies ailed our bloggers, but we are back with a few entries describing recent highlights, so you won't have missed anything. Here's the first:

Sunday was Visitors’ Day! We were excited to see many of you, and sad that we couldn’t get to see everyone of our fabulous kids’ parents. We had a fun time enjoying lunch with our families. Parents, grandparents, relatives, and even good friends were welcomed by the Galil community on the bright, sunny day. Many kids were excited to eat their favorite foods, specially prepared by their parents or picked-up en route. Kids who didn’t have family coming joined their friends or enjoyed a nice lunch with the tzevet (staff) who didn’t have visitors either.

After a short presentation by the co-chairs of the camp committee, Steve Shore and Alan Greenberg, the entire machaneh sang Shir l’Shalom (song for peace). Then we broke off into schavot (age groups) to play name games with the parents and kids. Parents were able to meet the friends of their kids and the other Galil Parents. It was also a wonderful opportunity for the tzevet (staff) to meet more parents, and tell them about the goings on of Galil. Many kids and parents enjoyed free swim in our wonderful Olympic-sized pool.

Eventually we wished our families goodbye and returned to our regularly scheduled Galil. It was a wonderful day.

Shalom
