Last Call For Everything

It was a day of lasts at machaneh. Today marked the last peulat shichvah of the summer. The Bogrim discussed their post-chaniach Galil future, while the Tzophim choreographed a dance which they performed for the machaneh later in the day.

The afternoon allowed for plenty of packing and nikayon tzrif. After aruchat tzaharayim, an impromptu dance party broke out in the chadar ochel. Extreme stretching ran it's final rendition of extremeness during sports today, as pilates worked everyone's core one last time. During hitkansut erev, the madrichim took time to explain how chanichim can see their friends during the year at various events (fall seminar is only a month away).

We had one last post-aruchat erev shira session. Immediately following, chanichim had the opportunity to sing and play music for everyone at musical, or to perform one last skit at medurah. The evening all but ended with the final mesibah. In line with the mesibah theme, chanichim dressed up ready to root for their favorite team. The Perseids meteor shower provided a beautiful sky show for everyone's walk back to their tzrifim.

We're sad to know that come this time tomorrow, everyone's bags will be packed and ready to go, and this summer's blog will see it's last entry.

B'shalom,
Josh
