Hilltop Week 8 2017

Hilltop Happenings

It’s so hard to say goodbye…summer has gone by way too quickly as our Maccabiah Color War comes to an end. We traveled through time back to when camp first began 75 years ago with our theme of DECADES OF MEMORIES.  The campers and counselors embraced the theme and showed their team spirit all week long!  The rachmanus (sportsmanship) was apparent, and we all had a great time.  All of our specialist had unique competitions planned for the campers. Science used the catapults from Week 1 to fling balls into containers of different distances.  Little Chefs made special creations out of different food items to represent their color’s decade.  Usable Arts sent the campers on a scavenger hunt. Our Aquatics team transformed instructional swim into competitive pool games.  Campers also earned points for their teams by being super quiet during Tuesday’s Silent Lunch!  It was a very close race, and everyone played hard and tried their best. We ended our week with divisional dance parties hosted by Rock-It Entertainment. Finally, we recited the Shabbat blessings one last time as a Hilltop Community, enjoying some delicious challah before heading off to the bus yard!

 

Thank you to all the wonderful campers, families, and staff members for making this summer a fantastic one! We hope you have a terrific school year, and we look forward to seeing you in 2018!
