Shalom Galil Parents!

This last week has been a busy one, full of excitement and joy for all the kids. On Wednesday we left Machaneh to go on our Kupa Trip. The excursion commenced with some rousing rounds of mini golf! Alex S. in Amelim got a hole-in-one. The kids also got a chance to run rampant in an arcade filled with video games and classics like skeeball and air hockey! When the kids won big, they pooled their tickets by schikvah (age group) to get the biggest prizes in the arcade. They had pizza and ice-cream before going roller-skating. At the rink they did the hokey-pokey and turned themselves around. That’s what it’s all about.
The following day was Bo-coup. Bo-coup is a unique leadership opportunity for the oldest chanichim, the bogrim (10th graders) to run fun activities for the younger children. The theme was board games and the kids played twister and a giant chess match. Everyone had a great time.
Tonight the whole Machaneh enjoyed tochnit erev (evening activity) Air Bands. All the kids rocked out to their favorite tunes. After that we went to final mesiba (party), which was spectacular. We watched a slideshow of pictures from camp that our wonderful photography Ohad took throughout the summer. We ate ice-cream and danced to pop music.
We are saddened to see Machaneh come to a close, but we are looking forward to seeing all of you one last time, tomorrow afternoon. Not to worry, we’ll see you all year around at ken events! Eizor Galil has a fantastic year in store for the chanichim.
Have a good year and see you next summer,

Dusty and Nora
