Today was the first full day of camp for general staff. Activities included fire training in the morning, boat moving in the afternoon and of course our first shabbat of the summer.
Fire training took a little over three hours, and consisted of movies, slide shows, a lecture and my personal favourite fire extinguisher training. Meaning that all staff at Camp Kadimah can identify Class A, B, and C fires and know which extinguishers to use in order to safely put them out.
The boat moving is self explanatory, all boats were successfully moved from the buildings into the water without any damage, I wish I could say the same for our general staff who were cut, bitten and stung in the process.
Services went well with new tunes to old prayers being tried out, dancing followed by a delicious shabbat meal.
Camp is empty and quit at the moment and everyone is anticipating the arrival of our CITs and campers for 2008. We're all very excited to begin another amazing summer!
