On Monday we made Frozen Grasshopper squares in baking. Michal really used her muscles to crush the cookies and Eliana had fun spreading the chocolate. On Tuesday we made our own silly-putty in science. Adi and Justice had so much fun stretching and rolling the silly-putty into fun shapes. We also had music with Alisha; Gabe sang very loudly. On Wednesday we had Harry Potter day. We all had so much fun making wands and glasses. Collin looked very cute in his glasses and Macaria made a beautiful wand. On Thursday our trip to Bowcraft was cancelled, but we got to go to Funtime America! Elizabeth and Katie had so much fun going on all the rides and winning prizes. On Friday we had a great time in fun fitness. Dancing was a lot of fun too! Milo was the winner in Freeze dance. We can’t wait for out trip to Cheesequake on Monday!

Bunk 2a

What a week! We’re going to miss Keith! Jonah and Hannah really enjoyed making Grasshopper pie in cooking this week but they had even more fun eating it afterwards! In science we made silly putty and Brandon became our slimiest camper. The Chai Lifeline Swim-A-Thon was such a hit with Joshua completing the most laps. No one went home from Funtime America empty handed and all of the Hi Ho Cherry-Os had a blast spinning and flying on all of the super cool rides, and playing games. We were all spellbound with Harry Potter Day. Our wands and glasses helped us all become some of the best wizards in the camp! We can’t wait until week 7 and the beach! Anna, Shoshana Bunk 2b This week everyone made a new friend, Joshua! We had an exciting week, with everyone improving their swimming- including Jacob and Miriam R. who are almost ready to graduate from their bubbles! We made delicious grasshopper pie, Daniel, Ryan, Sarah, and Eliana greatly enjoyed both eating and making their delicious treat. We also had the Chai Lifeline Swim-A-Thon this week; Miriam B and Michael swam so many laps we could hardly believe it!

Bunk 3

Bunk 3 had a magical sixth week of camp! We had an awesome time making glasses and wands on Harry Potter day – we even got scars on our foreheads! We also had a blast at Funtime America; our girls are very skilled at arcade games! Back at camp, we also had a blast playing Water Octopus riding on the water slide! We can’t wait for week 7! - Lindsay and Amanda Bunk 4 This week out bunk was smaller than usual, but that didn’t stop us from having big fun! On Monday we made and enjoyed grasshopper pie with Morah Cindy. On Tuesday the boys learned all about the invention of silly putty with Morah Emily. Then we got gooey and made some silly putty of our own. There was magic in the air on Wednesday- Harry Potter day! Safdar brought in a magic green broom and everybody got to make magic wands of their own! Thursday brought rain and a trip to Funtime America! The boys won tickets galore and awesome prizes. (Some of the counselors got VERY into the arcade games too! ) Friday, we were back at camp and learned new karate moves in fun fitness. What a busy week. Rest up, next week’s going to be even BETTER!

Bunks 5 and 6

Bunks 5 and 6 had twice the fun this week since we combined to become the “Battlehours.” We happily welcomed a new camper Matty to our already growing bunk. Our own Phillip was cast as a star in the camp’s award-winning production of Wizard of Oz! We all became Wizards on Harry Potter Day. Elan was out Quidditch champion, he didn’t let a single quaffle through the hoops. Joshua won the most tickets at Funtime America and everyone had a blast going on all of the rides, seeing the reptiles, and playing the games. We are so sad to be saying goodbye to Ben, Judah, Jesse and Yoni this week; we are all going to miss them greatly. - Ally, Jonah, David, Aliza Bunk 7 We had a great week! We had a blast zooming down the slides at the water park! Harry Potter day was full of magical fun- including a Quidditch match, “Hogwarts Basket,” and an enchanted water fight. On Thursday, we played a great game of kickball against the C.I.T.s. Adi made an awesome catch in the outfield! We can’t wait for week 7 and our trip to Cheesquake Park on Monday! - Austin and Danielle Bunk 8 Bunk 8 had a fantastic, jam-packed week! We started off the week at an awesome water park on a really hot day. We had so much fun on all of the slides, the water playground, and the lazy river. We had a lot of fun playing different sports such as kickball, tennis, and soccer. We also had fun playing chalk snail and gaga. Wednesday was Harry Potter Day! We made “Potter” glasses and wizard wands and played many Harry Potter themed games. In cooking we made delicious grasshopper ice cream cake and in art we sculpted clay. YCD is putting on out own performance of The Wizard of Oz! Bunk 8 has many campers in the cast. We look forward to seeing our campers in the play at the end of camp! - Gavi, Amanda, and Dahlia Bunk 9 This week was the best week yet! We had another awesome schedule, including waterslide and capture the flag where Marc made an amazing dive to win the game. We also played basketball where Dean lit up the court with his dazzling moves. We also enjoyed playing Quidditch and “wizard” games on Harry Potter day. Monday’s trip to Keansburg was fantastic.

We look forward another fun-filled week!

Science

Science this week was “silly” fun! Silly putty was our theme of the week. Did you know that silly putty was invented by accident? In 1943 James Wright, an engineer at Gerenal Electric, dropped borin acid into silicone oil and silly putty was born! We learned about solids, liquids, and gases too! The campers were amazed that Silly Putty is a viscoelastic liquid and not a solid!

Each bunk also made their own silly putty using the following recipe:

• Mix ½ cup of water with ½ cup white glue.
• Mix and add 3 drops of food coloring or paint.
• Then make a Borax solution by taking 2 tablespoons of Borax (powder laundry detergent can be found at Walmart) with 1 cup of water.
• Be sure to dissolve the Borax in the water.
• Add ½ cup of Borax solution to water and glue mixture and stir well.
• The glue will come together to form a “solid like” material and then your silly putty is ready!

You can play with your silly putty and then store it in a plastic bag to keep longer.

Have a silly fun time!!!
