Motzei
Shabbos, after a
massive cleanup, we
enjoyed a serious ice
cream party with
unlimited chocolate
chips, syrup, and
sprinkles.
Sunday
was visiting day, and
it was so excited to see our
parents and show off our
beautiful camp to them. It’s
fun seeing parents exclaim
how incredible the camp
grounds, bunks, and food are,
compared to when they were
campers. Parents loved
watching the Dora Golding
dance at lunch too. On Sunday night we enjoyed an all
new Rabbi Erps special Night
Activity called “And the answer is.” Monday night, after
Restaurant night, was a rocking
Lipa
concert.
The dancing
and
singing in
the theater
was incredible. The biggest
surprise of all was that Lipa
did not break out color war.
That was the next morning
when Fireman Joe from came
to camp to conduct a fire drill.
After sending us all out and
back in again he announced
that it was Color War. And
what a Color War it was! The
ruach in camp was unparalleled with so many special
activities, including swim races, all star games, bucket
brigade, comedy skits, and
grand plays. The camp-wide
Torah Bowl was extremely
inspiring and fun too. But the
highlight was the Grand Sing.
It began with the march from
the blacktop to the Dining
Room. Then, after
the leaders, captains, and generals
entrance, we had a
few laughs as the
Judges made their
entrance with a hysterical skit spoofing
color war. Alex and
Binyamin
looked
great in red, and
Rabbis Idstein and Rich simply blue us away! The singing
lasted well into the night,
including the Comedy Songs.
The Alma
Maters
w e r e
sung with
so much
passion,
and
it
was
so
moving to see so many staff
members and campers teary
eyed, arm in arm, singing
about how much they love
CDG. It’s great that we have
another week to enjoy!
Lipa visits bunk 11
“If I were a Rich man!”
Someone
please tell us when does this
guy sleep?
In a camp graced with over 600
campers there is so much that
must be done to keep camp
running smoothly. Rabbi Idstein
boasts about how incredible his
assistant is. We see him working through the day, but most of
us don’t see just how much
Rabbi Rich does behind the
scenes for us . It’s never too
early, too late, too difficult, or
too tedious. CDG is enriched
with Rabbi Rich’s presence and
we appreciate all he does for
us.

Dear Mom and Dad,
This week started with ice cream and ended with ‘I scream’! On Motzei Shabbos,
after cleaning up our bunk, and squeezing out some toothpaste, we enjoyed a great
ice cream party. I had a spoonful of ice cream and loaded it with chips, sprinkles,
and syrup. Right after I ate it my counselor said it was curfew. Yeah right! I was
so wired, I didn’t fall asleep until 3 a.m.
It was great seeing me on Visiting Day. Just reminding you. On Sunday night
we played “And the answer is”. When George was asked who the smartest
person in camp was, he replied, “At the moment it is Alex Gold.” I wonder who
will be the smartest person in camp this week?
Monday night supper was Restaurant Night. I ate an egg roll, french fries, corn on the
cob, two burgers, three hot dogs, a deli sandwich, and chicken. Afterwards, I had such
a stomachache. But I needed the tin foil to make a really big ball.
There’s a kid in my bunk from the Five Towns. He was wondering why the head of the
Long Island Power Authority was performing a concert in camp. Let me tell you
something — from the way Lipa was jumping around on stage, I think he was
electrocuted. It was a great concert, and we all had a blast, especially when he taught
us the four directions in Hebrew.
Monday morning we enjoyed a visit from Joe of the Marshalls Creek Fire Department.
It turns out he was really there for a breakout. Boy, they really had me fooled. Since
then, I pick up every rock I find in a field. Color
War was so much fun. Mom, can you buy me blue
pajamas? Also, would you mind if I wore them in
public? The Judges Entrance was hysterical. The administration
showed their true colors.
The alma maters were so emotional. My counselor was crying and he gave me a big
hug. Then I started crying too. In fact, I couldn’t stop crying for three minutes…
until my counselor realized he was stepping on my toe and moved over. When it was
time to announce the scores, they couldn’t stop singing. In fact, I think they are
still in the Dining Room singing. I was on red and won!
Next week is Hershey Park, Pay Day, Neighborhood Day, Banquet, and a whole lot more.
Well, that’s all for now.
Send more money for the canteen.
Love,
Avi
