Fun Around the Agam!

Five teenagers in swimsuits stand on a sandy beach by a lake, smiling at the camera and holding floatation devices. In the background, people enjoy swimming and boats near a dock surrounded by trees.

Rosh Agam Rotem Ad-Epsztein shares some photos and updates from all the recent fun activities at our agam (lake) & waterfront program!

Above is a photo of BOGRIM campers who did a lake-swim!

These SHOAFIMERS also did a lake swim:

These chanichim from MACHON & NIVONIM learned how to flip a canoe:

People paddle red canoes on a lake near a dock with white and blue pedal boats. Several people wearing yellow life jackets swim in the water. Trees and houses line the far shore. The scene is calm and slightly misty.

These chanichim from SHOAFIM & other edot worked on learning lifeguard skills:

Adat ha-MAGSHIMIM had tefillot at the agam. It elevates our tefillot to be out in such a beautiful environment:

A few more images of fun on the agam:

We love how central the agam is to the camp experience!!  (Did you watch the MAG/BOG Kishroniyah documentary short film exploring that very idea?)

Todah Rabbah to Rotem and all of our hard-working tzevet agam (waterfront staff-members)!!
