Dear Parents, Campers, Counselors, and Extended Etta Family, Monday, July 25: Animal Day got off to an amazing start as so many counselors and campers came dressed up as their favorite animal. We had Mickey and Minnie Mouse, a cow, and more. Even Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh made an appearance in camp! We also gave a warm welcome to Danny Wolf and his aide Meir Landau who are incredible additions to the Camp Avraham Moshe family. For the first time in our history we had our very own Petting Zoo come to camp. The zoo included Tziona the sheep, Clarence the donkey, Rebecca the goat, Shlomie the tortoise, an albino pigeon and a duck named Cracker. These animals brought so much joy to our lives as we were able to pet and feed them which made everyone very happy! We were also blessed to have Animal Groovy Music with Rachel which was enjoyed by all, and animal crackers for our snack. We swam like dolphins in the afternoon and each camper left with a toy octopus to help us all remember Animal Day with fondness. Thanks for another amazing day :) Tuesday, July 26: Hippie Day was a bed of roses as our campers and counselors came dressed with their hair down to their knees and peace signs filled the air! A huge thank you to Joan Baez, I mean Diana Warshawsky, who led us in 60s songs and stories and impressed us with 5 different tunes to Hinei MaTov U'ma Naim, "Oh how good it is for brothers and sisters to sit together in harmony." We also tie dyed white t-shirts in honor of the day and had wacky sports with Nechama. We concluded with a refreshing swim in the pool and we cannot wait to enjoy community helpers day tomorrow! :) Wednesday, July 27: Today was one of the most unique in the history of Camp Avraham Moshe. We were lucky to have Hatzolah EMT services come and tell us all about the volunteer work they do, in which they save lives each and every day. Our campers got to explore their ambulance and even were able to activate the sirens. We were also so blessed to have firefighters from station #43 in Los Angeles who demonstrated "A Day in the Life of a Firefighter" (without having to put out a fire of course!). Our campers got to try on the firefighters' uniforms and and were even able to explore the ins and outs of their fire truck! We are so grateful to LA Fire Department for volunteering their precious time as well as Scott and Nachman from Hatzolah EMT Services. In the afternoon we went swimming at Vista and our girls went to the Mellon's pool. We are so grateful to the Mellon family who so graciously allow us to use their pool each summer. We are so excited about our final field trip to Knott's Berry Farm tomorrow and cannot believe how fast the summer has gone by. We are making the most of every moment! Thursday, July 28: Our final trip day was met with so much anticipation as we boarded the bus earlier than usual to make sure we were on time for... Knott's Berry Farm! We applied sunscreen galore and drank more water than the fishes in the deep blue sea and ran around Knott's searching for the ride or attraction that would bring us the most thrills! Some of our campers enjoyed the roller coasters such as Ghost Rider, Boomerang and Pony Express while others loved the amazing shows including the one with the Peanuts crew from Snoopy! Most of us took shelter from the heat of the day on the water ride where getting soaked was extremely refreshing. Having line passes for all the rides allowed us to have the full Knott's Berry Farm experience! Knott's Berry Farm is always one of the most entertaining days of the summer and this was true once again today! We can't believe this was our final trip day of the summer but thanks to our staff and campers we made it one we will never forget!
From the archives: Knott's Berry Farm We have been looking forward to this since the beginning of camp and the trip was even better than we had thought it could be! Everyone enjoyed the rides and roller coasters and just had fun being with friends in the park. Each counselor went around the park with their camper and some groups went together on roller coasters while others chose to walk around the shops. We met for lunch in the shade, and spent a few hours more in the park before returning back home all together on the bus. Friday, July 29: We arrived to camp a little tired from our previous day at Knott's Berry Farm, but as the morning went on the incredible Camp Avraham Moshe energy filled the air. We made cinnamon-sugar challah that smelled *amazing* and decorated place mats for kids at Childrens Hospital, as part of our V'ahavta L'reyacha Kamocha theme. Josh told his "Its Not My Problem" story which was extremely interactive and reinforced how important it is for us to help those who are need. We of course had our famous pizza lunch and then welcomed world-renowned musician Peter Himmelman for an unbelievable closing Shabbos Party. Peter captured the hearts of each and every camper with his music and we hope he will come back next year and for years to come! It was truly an amazing week and we cannot wait to begin our last week of camp on Monday. Thank you for a fantastic week at Camp Avraham Moshe! Have a Good Shabbos / Shabbat Shalom! Don't forget to check out the weekly videos of camp, too... here's the one from this week: Love, Josh & Leah P.S. For more pics of camp, go to Interview
