Camp Kee Tov

It’s National Aviation Day today. That, naturally, makes us think of airplanes. And flights. Like how a flight has three stages: the liftoff, the cruising, and the descent/landing. You could think of Kee Tov like a cross country flight. In June we head down the runway and take off on our summer-long journey. As we head into July we reach cruising altitude, have the meal service, and maybe enjoy a movie. As we move through August we wrap things up, clean up the cups and trays, and put our tray tables into the upright and locked position. Now we’ve reached the beginning of the final approach. Soon everything will be done, the plane landed, and only thoughts of our next journey to comfort us. The flight’s not over, but the end is in sight. We’re still going to be having as much fun as possible, making tons of friends and having a great time at the best Jewish day camp in Berkeley!

Today showed that we’re still making the most of the time we have left:

• Rishonim took a trip to the Oakland Zoo to visit the animals and look for the lost Kee Tov animal! Now they’re enjoying their Mock Overnight!
• Habonim Edah Bet woke up bright and early after their one-night overnight. They joined Edah Gimmel for an all-Hab ro-sham-bo tournament and singing with Eric and Mapilim, then had the pool all to themselves.
• Giborim Edah Daled continued their awesome overnight (sounds like they’re having a blast) and Edah Hey went bouncing at Sky High!
• Mapilim and Chalutzim soaked in the rays at the A’s game!
• Gesher continued their backpacking trip. Reports are that everything is going great!

Tomorrow the journey continues:

Rish is taking it easy and treating themselves at the Kee Tov spa; Hab Bet is going around the world and Gimmel is having a Midsummer Day’s Dream; Gib Daled is returning from the overnight and joining Edah Hey at the pool; Map is having specialties and then joining Gib at the pool; Chal is getting ready for All-Camp Shabbat; and Gesh is coming back from their backpacking trip!
