Second Session Update!

Miriam — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 16:56:46 +0000

Hello from JCC Ranch Camp. Second Session is well under way. We are one week into the session and everyone is having a great time. From an opening campfire to a camp wide scavenger hunt and Maccabia we have participated in many fun activities. Our 8th grade girls are well into their 4 day trip and our TASC campers left yesterday. We know they are having a great time and cannot wait to hear about their amazing journeys when they return. We cannot wait for another fun week at Ranch Camp to begin!

June 14th at the Ranch Camp

Miriam — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:51:16 +0000

It’s Maccabiah!!! was the cry that awoke us this morning at the Ranch Camp. We celebrated the current World Cup by participating in our Ranch Camp version of the games by squaring off Switzerland against South Africa. Teams worked together to complete tasks such as the Mac-O-Peel, Ga-Ga tournaments, BBS, scavenger hunts, and trivia. In the end there was a lot of cheering, spirit and fair play resulting in a win by the usually nuetral Switzerland. We are looking forward to a great day (and some great weather!) tommorrow!!

A Ranch Camp Poem

Miriam — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:19:35 +0000

Hello from Ranch Camp! We are having a great time at camp. This morning our TASC and Rock n’Ride trips left thi and the camp talent show is tonight. Yesterday our cabin of the day was Chad 4, also known as the Mini Girls. They wrote a beautiful poem about Ranch Camp to post on the blog.

Ranch Camp is really fun, we like to play in the sun.
We swim, we dance, we eat a lot; our favorite food is tater tots.
We love our counselors they are the best, wearing us out so we get lots of rest.
WE LOVE RANCH CAMP!
