Camp Kee Tov

Yesterday the San Francisco Giants made a trade with the Chicago Cubs, trading away a minor league outfielder for a utility infielder named Mike Fontenot. Funny thing is, the Giants and Cubs were in the middle of a four game series against one another in San Francisco. So Mike Fontenot was at the ball park getting ready for a game when he was told to go over to the other side of the hallway, throw on a new uniform, and watch his new team play against his old one. Must have been pretty weird.

Sometimes at camp we joke around about trading counselors from one program to another. Trade two Junior Counselors and a CIT for a Rosh. Maybe swap Senior Counselors. Of course, if you all of a sudden got traded from Habonim to Mapilim, you wouldn’t have to worry about playing against your former team; we’re all on the same side here at Kee Tov.

Next thing you know they’ll be negotiating for multi-year deals with a signing bonus, no-trade clause, and performance incentives. An extra $10 for making a good cooler of punch?

Today all of our teams showed how well they’ve gelled:

• Rishonim helped Ash find his lost Pikachu Pokemon. Don’t worry, we have no idea what that means either.
• Habonim Edah Bet had Survivor Day! Edah Gimmel had Messy Day! Jeopardy Slip ‘n’ slide was a new twist on an old favorite.
• Giborim Edah Hey returned from a successful two-night outing in Tilden. They joined Daled for some swimming at the pool.
• Mapilim had an awesome winter olympic themed morning (we think that’s what it was – all we know is that the dog-sledding was super cool). Then they went ice skating!
• Chalutzim returned from Lake Natoma after a phenomenal overnight!
• Gesher learned what it takes to be a counselor and planned out the days they’ll lead with Hab and Gib tomorrow.

Tomorrow we’ll surely hit another homerun as all our programs will be having Jewish themed programming for Shabbat at the best summer day camp in the Bay Area. Gesher will become junior CITs in Hab and Gib, and Rish and Chal will buddy up once again.
