siyum hashas
Can you even imagine
what it is like to join
arms with almost
100,000 Jews, all dancing
and singing, all celebrating our commitment to
Torah learning?
n Wednesday, August 1,
Camp Achdus was privileged to join Klal Yisroel in
celebrating the twelfth Siyum Hashas of
Daf Yomi, at Metlife Stadium in East
Rutherford, NJ. A limited block of seats
in the front row of section 250A, normally sold at $100 a pop, was obtained
by Zevi Carlebach through Oorah, to
bring this unique and unprecedented
experience to Camp Achdus campers

Tie Dye
On Wednesday and Thursday, campers
from Alef through Suf (though more
from the younger bunks) assiduously
dunked and squeezed their plain white
t-shirts in an attempt to funnel their
creative energy into colorful tie-dye
shirts. Super huge shkoyach to Padre
and Binyomin Rosskamm who sacrificed their aridity and clean clothing for
the sake of this messy activity. Please
make sure to compliment your child's
tie dye shirt, even if it is a little too loud
for your taste.
Bowling
On Tuesday, Bunks Daled Kuttun and
Daled Gadol went to Hi Spot Lanes. We
had a ball! When asked to express his
feelings about the trip, one amateur
bowler said, I love the feeling of not
being pinned down! A more proficient
participant said, I always get strikes.
And now its a good thing! All said and
done, Daled had a great time, even
asked to go back again, and cant wait
for next weeks trips to Laser Tag
(Tuesday) and Clementon Water Park
(Thursday)!
Chuck E walked around the room, gathering all of the erlicheh kinderlach and
bringing them to the prize counter. As
an inspirational jingle sounded, all who
were gathered did the Kazatzka and
other dances, and Chuck E showed his
good midah of Nedivus (giving) by
showering us with free prize tickets!

and counselors. On Thursday, we investigated just how close these relationships are, when bunks tried to answer
questions like what is your counselors
favorite thing to do on a Sunday? and
How often does your counselor brush
his teeth?
Sports
Bunks Vuv and Suf played blindfolded
kickball, in which every position is
manned by two players, one seeing and
one blindfolded. Seeing players can kick
and catch, but their blindfolded partners, under the direction of their seeing
mate, must run and throw. Daled
played four-way soccer, which has four
teams, four goals, and a bunch of added
excitement. Ches Gadol played Hot Potato, in which all the kitchen hands
