The Campus for Jewish Life - The Pavilion

Dear Parents and Campers:

The rain couldn’t keep our spirits down this week!! Harry Potter and Ice Age were a nice surprise when it rained on our parade on Tuesday. “Wanna buy a duck?”  QUACK! The sound of ducks could be heard all through the camp Thursday, when we celebrated our web footed friends by having Ducky Day! We did special duck games, decorated duck collages and even lived like ducks in the rain!

 

We can’t believe our first session is over. We said goodbye to a few of our favorite counselors this week. We will miss Noah Lerner, Ethan Lerner, Jonathan Schwartz and Amanda Cove. We wish you a great rest of the summer.

Picture Day is next Friday, July 31. Don’t forget to send in your picture money and forms!

Please apply sunscreen to your children in the morning. We will reapply throughout the day. Children should come to camp wearing sneakers and bathing suits. And label everything!
