The first three weeks of summer 2019 at Camp Tavor culminated in an incredible and powerful session for chanichimot (campers) and tzevet (staff) alike.

This past week, community members led peulot for the chanichimot about food security and climate justice. Later, the Garinimot and Chotrimot participated in Tikkun Olam––community action projects–– in the local Three Rivers Community. 

Last night, for the Fourth of July, we played Capture the Flag against the YMCA camp across the lake, and then we hosted our very own fireworks show! So kef (fun)! 

As Shabbat rolls around, we’re looking forward to our weekly rituals of Shabbat shira, rikkud (dance), brisket (or tofu!), and chocolate chip pancakes!

It feels bittersweet to wrap up our amazing session together, but I’m excited for you all to hear about it from your children! Can’t wait for another amazing three weeks with second session!!!

The Madatz (counselors in training) took off from machaneh to explore northern Michigan!

On the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes we stopped for a picnic lunch under a gazebo and walked the trails in Big Rapids. We had a brief rain break from hiking and took the opportunity to scout out the The Dennos Museum Center, located in  Traverse City, MI.

Finally we were off to Sleeping Bear Dunes to spend some cool down time at Lake Michigan.

This summer is just flying by too fast! It's hard to believe we will be wrapping up the first the session at Camp Tavor in just a few days.

The 2019 Camp Tavor Cardboard Regatta final results: They were all amazing! But it was Rainbow Lettuce that fared the best in the water, while Team Wah built the fastest ship, (both completing 4-laps) sadly Team Riff Raft's ship was lost at sea :) but her crew was safely rescued.
