Shalom from Camp Machar!
This summer could not be going better! We have been spending our days outside enjoying the fantastic sunny weather. Our Macharnicks are loving their choice peulot, such as a weekly Machar Post, daily waterskiing, and sport tournaments. As well, each camper has been involved with many creative projects in their respective Va’ads, such as construction, Tarbut, and Tikkun Olam. We just returned from Hityashvut, which is our sectional two- day colour war and camping trip. The Oceanside campsite includes a swimming pool, a cave hike, and a perfect opportunity for sectional bonding. We are in the midst of learning our section song, and the campers are anxiously awaiting our presentation to the rest of camp. Evening programs such as McFlag, Escape from Alcatraz, and our original Israeli Dance Work-Out Videos have kept Macharnicks excited and busy. Tonight is the Machar talent show where the campers will have an opportunity to show off their various talents and skills in hopes of participating in the big camp-wide talent show. Shabbat is approaching, and Macharnicks will have a chance to play in their house league teams, enjoy various water sports, and relax before a packed week of intense and fun programs.
Until next week...

From our home away from home,
Camp Machar
