Yom Sport Day One!

It’s been an incredible first day of Yom Sport! The ruach across camp has been amazing. It’s exciting seeing our Nivonimers stepping up as leaders of camp to run this massive two-day camp-wide event!

Things kicked off with an exciting break-out on the agam.  (If you haven’t yet watched the video of the boat race and break-out, you should do so!)

After team meetings, the kids spread across camp for the camp-wide relay race, stretching from the Tzad Aleph lower migrash (field) all the way to our Alpine Tower in Machane Gimel!  It was fun seeing the kids’ energy and enthusiasm as they competed in all sorts of silly and challenging events across camp!

Then, as is our tradition, the team captains competed in a series of games of tug-of-war!

We then moved into the Chadar Ochel for Aruchat Erev (dinner).  The kids sat by team for an “etiquette dinner”, in which kids were challenged to eat without forks!  (Personally I found it surprisingly easy to eat chicken with just a spoon and a knife!)

After dinner, the kids had joyous medurot (campfires) by team.

It’s been an incredible day!  I suspect everyone around camp will sleep well tonight.  We’re excited for tomorrow!
