While school children and camps around the world are warming up for another CGI summer success, in Southern Africa’s Cape Town they were buttoning up for another winter, the Summer’s December holidays a distant memory…
But not for long! This Sunday, all the kids from Cape Town Camp Gan Izzy summer camp packed into the Chabad House for an unforgettable Camp reunion. The kids piled in as they were gearing up to relive a day in camp!
After starting the day with a traditional Gan Izzy lineup, cheer, camp song, and beautifully recited Pesukim, the kids got a chance to do a stunningly arranged arts and crafts project, each child walking away with their own personal memento.
The kids all made a huge circle playing the ever favorite game “Indian Chief” while the smiles and laughter abounded. “It’s so special to see all the CGI kids coming back together with such happiness on their faces,” head counselor Meir Fellig said. “Our hope is that the message of “ivdu es Hashem b’Simcha that we brought alive all summer along, will now carry them in to the winter as well.”
After a tiring competitive game the kids all sat down for a pre-Shavuot “make your own ice cream” party, learning all about Shavous and the Ten Commandments and were reminded about the importance of coming to Shul on Yom Tov morning.
For the grand finale the children enjoyed a very entertaining video of ‘flashbacks’, of their fondest CGI memories – preparing them for the summer of 2012 just six months away!
The camp reunion was arranged by the Talmidim Hashluchim under the auspices of camp directors Levi and Rosie Popack.
