Spotlight On This Summer's Workshops

One of many new workshops that campers enjoyed this session was Le Chocolat. In Le Chocolat, campers created different types of yummy chocolate creations by painting chocolate molds with melted dark chocolate and colored white chocolate. The molds ranged from various two dimensional flower molds to three dimensional flower molds which were made by the campers and then placed in chocolate vases. Our campers said "the workshop was really good." Danielle S. said that “it was yummy!”

Another great activity that our campers loved was Glass Fusion. There, campers chose various projects that they wished to create out of glass, ranging from rings, plates, mezuzah cases, necklaces, picture frames, cufflinks, and even cell phone charms! The camper then decorated their creations with shapes, frit (small pieces of glass), or stringer (strings of glass). After their pieces were finished, their crafts were baked in a kiln for eighteen hours, resulting in unique, beautiful, professional looking pieces for each camper to take home and enjoy or even give as beautiful gifts. One camper said that she liked making momentos for her counselor!

From Arts and Crafts, Pottery, Leather, Photography, Baking, Sweet Shop, Scrapbooking, Candle Works, Jamming and so much more, Camp Simcha truly has so many wonderful activites to offer! Thank you to all of our terrific workshop heads for all of your hard work! :)
