Visiting Day

It’s the fourth week of camp, and color war still hasn’t broken out. Many

people think that it might be tonight. This is because for the past two years

first session color breakout has been on Friday night services. We believe that

we have it on Friday nights because on Shabbat night everyone is together.

Also, people that are sick in the infirmary can watch the breakout and listen

to the music. Color war is one of our favorite activities. Most campers also

High Ropes

P A G E 6 V O L U M E 3 , I S S U E 2

High Ropes is a very fun activity. At High Ropes, there are many elements to choose

from. There are 3 zip-lines. The higher they get the faster they go, so the highest zip-line

is the fastest and the longest. When you do the zip-lines, you also get a little wet by going

through a water fountain. Another fun thing to do at high ropes is the broken bridge. You

have to walk across a broken bridge, which can be scary sometimes. But, once you do it,

it is really fun! Sometimes the instructors challenge you to stand with one foot and jump

up and down. They also have rock-climbing. I’ve always thought that it would be amazing

to make it to the top of the wall! There is also a vertical gym. On the vertical gym, you

have to get past a few obstacles while climbing to the top. Honestly, everything at High

Ropes is amazing! Sign up today!

-Maya, Naomi

In Low Ropes, you get to play fun games like Shark Attack, Islands, and the Wiggly

Log. There are other fun things to do in Low Ropes too, like the Spider Web, All

Aboard, and Jacob’s Ladder. I love doing Low Ropes for Wild Card. I did it this

week! We did 10 minutes of the Spider Web and 20 minutes of Shark Attack (my

bunk’s favorite game). In Shark Attack, you have to run, jump, and latch onto a

wooden wall. Then, the instructor will tell you to take certain body parts (left hand,

right foot, etc.) of off the wall. Low Ropes is one of my favorite activities, and I hope

it is for you too! -Miles, Dan

Wouldn’t it be cool if something you wrote was in the

camp’s newspaper? Newspaper is an activity for electives

that lets you do just that! You can write practically any-

thing! The newspaper comes out every two weeks. I

think it is a lot of fun! Grace is the counselor who runs

newspaper. She is very nice and helpful. She can give sug-

gestions to people who are having trouble with their arti-

cles. She will always make sure whatever you are writing

is great for the newspaper! You can write an article, an

interview, a poem, riddles, puzzles, and more! I’ve heard

that everyone who has ever been there has had so much

fun and are always laughing! It is always a great time!

Boating in the lake, everyone loves it. But, it can get dan-

gerous! There have been reports of people falling off of

paddleboards and very rarely, capsizing canoes! I have

been in a little accident before. I remember like it was

yesterday… well, it was yesterday! I was in a kayak and I

crashed into a paddleboard. Then, the paddleboard went

right over my kayak! I was watching rockets launch while

I was in my kayak, so I didn’t notice that I was going to

bump into someone. The moral of the story is to be cau-

tious while boating!

-Daniel, Dan

Giant Swing

P A G E 7 V O L U M E 3 , I S S U E 2

Have you ever been to Model Making before? It is awesome!

Models is a shop at camp Nah-Jee-Wah. Maya, the specialist,

is super helpful and very nice! So far, I have made clay ani-

mals and planets. For the clay animals, we used model magic

clay and shaped it into different animals. Then, we painted

and added details to them! Finally, we made a background/

setting for the animals. The planets we made are awesome

too! First, we took a balloon and used modgepodge to glue

different types of material to the balloon, resulting in our

own planet! I LOVE MODELS!

-Grace, Hannah

One of my favorite activities is the lake. The lake is a lot of fun because

there are a lot of different things to do in the lake, like the Rave (which

is my personal favorite). There’s also the Aqua-glide which is also really

fun. It is like a slide that floats in the middle of the water. At the lake,

there is also the 100ft slide which shoots you into the water! Outside of

the lake is just as fun. You can play volleyball or relac and read a book on

the grass. Boating is one of the best activities at the lake. You can kayak,

canoe, paddleboard, and more. You also get to banana boat every once

in a while.

If it is your first time riding a horse, don’t get

worried! All of the horses are really nice. If

you don’t know how to ride them, the

teachers will teach you. I am sure you will

learn very quickly. To horseback ride, you

need boots with a heel, long pants, and a

helmet. If you don’t have a helmet, they will

let you borrow one. Also, I recommend

wearing bug spray. It is a lot of fun, so I rec-

ommend giving it a try!

As you are aware, many people go up to the top of the giant swing, and are brave. But others… are a

little too scared to. What’s the reason for this? The answer is clear: people’s opinions on the giant

swings’ safety varies. The people with opinions that it’s dangerous choose to not go to the top. Some

people have this opinion because they are afraid of heights or afraid of trying something new. By the

way, you’re not alone. The first time I went on it, I was scared, but I did it! After all, the giant swing is

safe, no matter your fears. So, let today be the day that you do the giant swing. Don’t be the one to not

give it a chance. Spread the word.

Being in the play is a lot of work. I should know consid-

ering I’m Maria. Sometimes I’m there for 1 period, some-

times I’m there for all 6. But, it’s fun! You make so many

friends. I’ve met almost everyone in the play, and they’re

all really nice! I now have friends in many different divi-

sions.

If you saw the play and enjoyed it, you should con-

sider joining the play either next session if you are an 8

weeker, or next year if you’re a 4 weeker. But, let me tell

you something. Drama means commitment! If you are not

willing to be at Drama all day, you might not want to try

out. It’s a ton of work but it is still extremely fun. Hope

you enjoyed the show!

-Sophie, Hannah

Who likes music? I know I do. Well, you can learn all about it in this session’s musical: The Sound of Music! This drama is

very exciting, especially in some of the scenes with the seven kids and Maria. For all of those eight weekers and second ses-

sion campers who didn’t audition, there is no reason to worry about not getting a part in the play. Everybody makes it! Eve-

ryone is included. Auditions aren’t as bad as you think. Simply follow the directions and you’ll get through just fine. What you

have to do is simple. You read aloud some lines and sing happy birthday. You will have to miss some activities but it’s worth

it. All of the songs will be stuck in your head. My personal favorite is 16 going on 17. In fact, I sing it! Tell me your favorite

song if you see me around and enjoy the show!

-Tanner, Levi

The Sound of Music

Here in Nah-Jee-Wah, starring campers from all divisions, we showed The Sound of

Music. It was amazing! There were two performances that took place on Wednesday,

July 20, 2016. Congratulations to all of the people that worked very hard for this

musical!

Created by Sarah, Ivy, Michelle, and Brooke from Hannah

Every session, the Drama crew puts on a different

musical. This year, the crew put on The Sound of

Music. The head of drama is Marceline, and the rest

of the crew is Scarlet, Sam, and Lexi. They all work

very well together. There are auditions to see what

part you fit best. Everyone gets an equal chance.

Even if you don’t get a main part, there is always a

very important ensemble that you can join. That

way, everybody who tries out gets a part! Everyone

gets stage makeup, even the boys! I love the way

the drama crew puts together these amazing

shows. Can’t wait for next year!

Written with lots of heart,

K’far Teva

P A G E 9 V O L U M E 3 , I S S U E 2

In camp, there is an overnight trip that EVERYONE looks forward to. This overnight

is called K’far Teva. During the camping overnight, you cook dinner and dessert over

a fire. You play games and socialize with your friends. When I went, we ate Israeli

salad, rice, and vegetable stir fry. Then we roasted marshmallows and bananas over

the fire and put the marshmallows in between two cookies to make s’mores. They

were delicious! We also played games throughout the night. These games included an

Israeli hand game, brain teasers with sticks, and Mafia. After our fun night, it was time

to sleep. We all slept in tents and had time to hang out with our friends. When we

woke up, it was time to leave. My favorite thing about K’far Teva was being in the

woods. It was so peaceful, with the wind rustling at night and the birds chirping in the

morning. The camping experience really gave me a time to think, reflect, and relax.

Based on amazing experience at K’far Teva, I suggest you go camping soon!

-Mikayla, Hannah

The day before visiting day was an exciting day! We had to clean really hard for our

guests. Because of this, we had the opportunity to earn DOUBLE GOLD BROOMS! At

Havdala, Jason announced the gold brooms to the entire camp. Everyone was hoping

for an all camp gold sweep (when every single bunk in camp gets a gold)! Jason started

with Dan, Levi, and Naomi. Everyone kept getting gold brooms, so everyone was get-

ting excited! After that was Asher and then Abi. Both divisions got gold sweeps, so eve-

ryone was screaming wildly! Then the moment of truth came, it was all up to Hannah.

“Bunks 7, 8, 9, 12, 14,15…GOLD!!!” Everyone was so excited, they all stood up and

cheered. WE GOT AN ALL CAMP GOLD SWEEP!

-Henry, Asher

All Camp Gold Sweep

Mystery Trip In the third week of camp, Hannah and Levi found out that there was going to be a trip out

of camp. But, the trip was a mystery! After a couple of days, the two divisions were eager to

find out where they were going. One of the days in that week, Hannah and Levi were told

they were eating dinner earlier than usual. It was then that they knew when the trip was!

The divisions were told their exciting trip was to clean toilets. When they finally arrived at

the location, both of the division noticed that instead of cleaning toilets they were watching

the movie, “The Secret Life of Pets!” Each counselor passed out a cup of soda (campers got

to choose what kind), and a bag of popcorn. This was a special treat and a fun trip for us and

the other campers that participated. In conclusion, the mystery trip was an amazing experi-

ence for all of the kids and will be for the next group next year!

Selfie Scavenger Hunt

The Water Bottle Game

Lip-Sync To perform in the all camp lip-sync battle, you had to have won your division’s first

round of try outs. You might be asking, “What is the lip-sync battle?” Well, it is

when 1 or 2 bunks from each division get to perform a song and dance for the en-

tire camp. Then, the judges decide who has the best dance and song. It is really im-

portant to remember to lip-sync the words when you’re dancing! This year, two

bunks from Abi performed Wrecking Ball and a song from Hamilton. Then, Asher,

Dan, Naomi, Levi, and Hannah represented their divisions. Dan Bunk 5 won the

competition with their performance of Single Ladies by Beyonce. Congratulations

Bunk 5!

In my bunk, we play a really fun game called “The Water Bottle Game.” The water bottle game is a lot of fun to

play during rest hour or when you have some free time. It’s a great way to practice teamwork. First and fore-

most, you will need a water bottle. Sit in a circle with everyone who wants to play. The goal of the game is to

pass the water bottle around without using your whole hand. Here are some ways you can pass the water bottle

around:

Elbows

Pinky fingers

Thumbs

Feet

Chin/neck

And more!

Have fun playing this game created by Naomi 46!

Did you see any Hannah girls running around camp and taking selfies this week?

Well, it was because we were participating in a selfie scavenger hunt! You may

ask, “what is a selfie scavenger hunt?” A selfie scavenger hunt is an evening ac-

tivity where each bunk follows a list of challenges and takes selfies to prove

them. Some examples are: take a picture with an assistant director or take a

picture flexing with Will from Athletics. My favorite challenge was a human

raking selfie where we held my friend Alana over a garbage can. Every single

member of the bunk must be included in each selfie or it does not count. We

had 30 minutes to complete as many selfie challenges as possible. Once the 30

minutes were up, the whole division came back to look at all the selfies. Each

picture was worth a different amount of points based on creativity. It was sooo

much fun!

Athletics

P A G E 1 1 V O L U M E 3 , I S S U E 2

Have you ever chosen lacrosse as your sport for athletics?

I LOVE lacrosse with Avery. Lacrosse is the sport where

you have a stick and a ball and try to make shots and

passes to each other. With Avery, you will learn to hold

the stick correctly, make passes, and make shots. Avery is

really nice! She will go over anything you are having trou-

ble with. She will also make sure you are having fun. Coach

Avery sets up new challenges every week. They are op-

tional, but you’ll probably want to do them! They’re fun

and sometimes you get a prize if you complete them!

Overall, it is an amazing activity. Try it out!

-Lauren, Naomi

Nah-Jee-Wah has a very good sports program. Every time I walk to athletics, I feel like I’m walking through 30% of

the camp because it is SO BIG. Nah-Jee-Wah has a lot of sports to offer including basketball, soccer, tennis, arch-

ery, gymnastics, dance, etc. And, guess what! There are teams to go with each sport. The teams create friendships

between campers of all divisions. Another good thing about athletics is that we’re always ready to lend a helping

hand. For example, when one division does not have enough players for their team’s upcoming game, they can

always ask for help from another division. At athletics, no one cares about what gender you are or how old you

are. You can always participate no matter what! I believe everybody should have a chance to try out Nah-Jee-

Wah’s great athletics activities.

-Ariel K, Abi

There are many things to do at athletics. You can

My favorite activity at athletics is gymnastics. In

gymnastics, I like to do head stands, hand stands,

and the balance beam. I also like doing the warm

ups because you get to run around the room.

Then you get to start all of the fun activities.
