Chabad’s Day Camps from across South Florida joined together for an annual camp unity day event on Thursday – Yud Bais Tammuz, which was held in Xtreme Action Park in Fort Lauderdale.
Participating camps were Camp Gan Israel of Bal Harbor, Hallandale, Highland Lakes, Miami L.E.C., Parkland, Sunrise, Weston, Miami Pioneers, Lake Worth and West Boynton.
Rabbi Shmuly Gutnick of Chabad Youth Network of Florida organized two incredible programs, one for the girls and one for the boys camps.
The day was jam packed with amazing activities for a fun filled and meaningful day. The campers entered the largest indoor entertainment venue in Florida which included rope courses, arcades, Bowling and roller skating.
This was followed by a rally full of chayus; campers recited the twelve pesukim, tehillim, received a dime for Tzedakah and of course there was singing, cheering and dancing.
Rabbi Gutnick put on a spectacular show that had the kids spell bound and shrieking with joy. Juggling Fire, eating balloons, going in a jumbo balloon, making candy appear out of thin air and even lighting his hand on fire everyone was amazed and very entertained.
A few lucky volunteers even got to go into the jumbo balloon. To end the day, a grand raffle was held with unbelievable prizes. “Everyone left happy, united and ready to bring moshiah now,” organizers said.
