One of our new activities in camp this summer is the Biblical Discovery Zone. Designed to be an interactive learning experience, chanichim (campers) experiment with different activities and learn about topics related to the theme of the summer, Yisrael Be'artzo. In one area, campers learn about music in Tanach by blowing trumpets resembling those in biblical times, playing other biblical type instruments, and making their own biblical panpipe. In another area, campers learn about types of jewelry worn in biblical times and bead necklaces. They can also learn about biblical weaponry, clothing, and play on a life-sized checker board using biblical names as pieces.

Pictured here are Eidah Bet campers making seals, bagpipes, beading, and playing checkers of biblical proportion!

It rained in the afternoon in camp and we switched into a rainy day schedule. We met up with Eidah Bet in soccer, drama, beach volleyball, art, archery and nagarut before the rain took over.

Eidah Hey began their day on a delicious note with an all time favorite - Baking with Beverly! In keeping with the theme of the week (of course!) the time period of Joshua, campers decorated cakes with pictures of shields or swords. A good time was had by all!

Eidah Hey campers also enjoyed the DISCOVERY ZONE today

and teva.

Eidah Aleph campers also enjoyed Baking with Beverly, Chavaya Yisraelit, making new discoveries in teva, button-making, drama and melechet yad before it began to rain.

Meanwhile, Eidah Daled came back last night from their chutz, due to the threat of storms. They walked into Honesdale today and returned as it started to rain again. We caught up with them at Mifkad before they set out. Watch the two videos below or click on the image to go to the Daled homepage.
