Simcha Stumbles on Slumberers

This just in: We're getting reports of campers parked out in the gym. Apparently this is some kind of "slumber party." Campers are in pajamas, watching a movie, munching on popcorn and telling secrets.

Workshop Watch: Baking

It's Leah here and I'll bet you didn't know that CSS has a world-famous bakery. That's right, and today, I popped in while Bunks 9 and 10 were eagerly filling an order of Iced Buttery Cutouts. Made from scratch by mixing all the right ingredients, rolling out the dough and cutting out creative shapes, these cookies are then decorated. Icing, sugar crystals and sprinkles grace the tops of these cookies and add just a bit more to their sweetness. I met some of the bakers. Here's what they said:

Rina K:

"Baking rocks and so do the people who work here."

Alexis B.:

"I like baking because it's so much fun and you can use your imagination with baking."

Rachel W.:

"I love cracking the eggs. Plus, you get to eat all the yummy stuff you bake."

Gavriella:

"Baking is fun because you get to eat it after."

Workshop Watch: Mosaics

At the mosaic workshop, Francesca, Liam and Samarra were working diligently on decorating jewelry boxes. They used tacky glue, mosaic tiles and, finally, grout, to create multi-colored, unique pieces.

Party Favor: Flag Pins

In keeping with the patriotic theme of the day, campers received USA-shaped flag pins for party favors. The pins light up and will remind campers of camp long after they have to returned to their homes all across America and the world.

Simcha Serenades Us at Lunch

Live from the Dining Room, we bring you verse-by-verse reports of Camp Simcha spontaneously breaking out in song.

Give it up for Dr. Van! He sang to John Denver's song.

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
Camp Simcha, Simcha Special
Take me home, country roads

Dr. Van's agent had the following statement: Dr. Van's latest CD is available at the office and he'll be signing autographs after lunch.

Please remove all hats and place your hand against your hand. Sarah S., Rachel B., Rachel L. and Chumie W. also entertained us with their renditions of the national anthem . . . Play Ball!

Baruch Levine Concert

From WCSS News in Gley Spey, Party City, I'm Leah. In today's top story headlines, Camp Simcha sang and danced to an exhilarating concert by Baruch Levine.

Levine sang the United States National Anthem. In honor of Canada Day, he also performed the Canadian National Anthem.

Happy Birthday, it's someone's birthday, Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to Molly and Samarra!
Levine called these two on stage and sang a special song for them.

Camp Simcha Special Shows Its Colors: Red, White and Blue

In Camp Simcha Special, we celebrate the Fourth of July three days early, the more to party. It's Election Day at camp and Stars and Stripes are waving proudly above a podium in the dining room. The crowd's dressed in Old Glory's colors and with the turnout is great. In fact, camp has come out in droves to support their favorite candidates. Elections for camp president are going to be close. This year Uncle Moishy, Mickey Mouse and Hannah Montana are running. Stay with us for updates from this battleground state.
