The participants started the day with a buzz of excitement as they waved goodbye to their parents and boarded the coaches. By the time the coaches reached the campsite, the level of laughter and chatter could be heard louder than ever.
Camp really began when the participants listened quietly as the dorms were read out, following this the rules were read and the health and safety measures were explained, there was also a practice fire drill. This was followed by our first delicious and nutritious lunch at camp.
There was then an opening session where the Madrichim (leaders) introduced themselves and the group got to know the leaders and each other. This was followed by a fun and active programme and then a Challenge session. Challenge is an extremely unique program, which we value immensely on Tribe Summer Camp. Each participant is given a group which they will meet with every day of camp to discuss interesting, engaging and important topics, relating to theme of summer camp. Today at Challenge, the groups discussed Tisha B'Av (the fast of Av). They learnt about the calamities which occurred on this day, including the destruction of the First and Second Temples. The participants responded maturely and took part in the activity linked to the teachings of Tisha B'Av.
It was time for dinner, so everyone headed to the dining room and filled the room with their energy. After a long day the participants enjoyed some free
time with their friends, where they could finish unpacking and continue to
enjoy each other’s company.
After a long day the group headed to bed excited by the thought
of what the next days on camp have in store!
Until tomorrow,
The Tribe Team
