Bozman

With the Madatz away, it was time for the Bogrim to play. This evening the Bogrim took over machaneh for tochnit erev we call Bozman (zman Bogrim). They sent the madrichim away while they, with the help of the Bonim, ran a round robin of fun events including a dance party on our grassy knoll. The Bogrim had been planning this take over for a week, staying up late the night before to bake brownies and prepare fruit shish kebabs for all the chanichim. It was a new experience for all involved, planning a machaneh wide activity from start to finish and implementing the program for the 120 other chanichim.

Earlier in the day, the Tzophim finished their tour of the ropes course, while the Amelim planned out how they are going to paint the tree bench that lives right outside their tzrif.

In chug soapstone, the chanichim are well along on their way towards creating their imaginations into rock formation. Chug dirty fun is midway through their week of catching unsuspecting tzevet members (ahem, me) off-guard, surprising and dousing them with globs of mud, mayo and liquid soap.

We are happy to welcome back the Chotrim from their two day tiyul of hiking and sleeping under the stars in tents.

B'shalom,
Josh
