Wednesday July 2

The pictures say it all – it has been the most gorgeous perfect weather at our Chutz this year, and so fun and relaxing to hang out cooking around the fire for hours. The campers really enjoy getting to know nature, while playing and talking with others of all ages. There is a Melechet Yad tent open for activities all day and tefilot to break up the day and help us keep our schedule – otherwise we really wouldn’t know what time it is 🙂

After tefillah, everyone was served a simple cereal-and-milk brekafast before shiur. The Shiur today was by eidah – members of the Beit Midrash came around to each eidah and performed a skit demonstrating the nature/ways of different Chassidic sects.  Following shiur, the fires were were lit and away the kids went…for hours… Each group (a plugah, led by eidah daled campers and supervised by madrichim) was given ingredients (bread, eggs, cheese etc) and they spent hours making whatever they could think of to eat: scrambled eggs, french toast, grilled cheese… It was yummy and fun!

Another movie will be projected up on the big screen tonight, and then tomorrow morning the whole camp returns after shiur. Eidah Daled stays behind to help plugah do the clean-up. With great privilege comes great responsibility 🙂
