Transitions (Part 3 — Visiting Day!)

Sunday wasn’t just the end of first session, but it was our Visiting Day!  It’s the mid-point in the summer of our full-session campers, as well as an opportunity for camp alumni to return to camp and old friends to reunite.  As has become a tradition for us, we kicked off the day with a short tekes (ceremony), highlighting some of the amazing camper performances from the first session, and introducing our parents to our awesome new facilities this summer — specifically our new Bet Am Gadol, our new gymnasium/fitness center/theatre.
