Coming to you live from chug Viva la Dance Party, where today instead of dancing...we are
digesting. We are digesting the food, of course, but we are all digesting all that we experienced on Yom Horim (Visitors Day). We try pretty hard to give all of you a taste of what we do here, but after a day of singing, eating, shmoozing, and bidding our three-weekers adeiu we will all sleep
early and soundly.
Starting at noon today, well a little before noon, Machaneh Galil was invaded. Not by the zombies and vampires that we see so much of in pop culture, but by all of our families, friends, and hopefully some of you! The first hour and a half is dedicated solely to the feasting and the shmoozing. Don't worry though, the chanichim (campers) and tzevet (staff) without families and
friends attending actually end up getting more food and more attention than those with visitors
because they become guests of each picnic blanket and manage to get all of the extra pizza, hoagies, and brownies their hearts can possibly desire.
The rest of the day was filled with a short performance by all of Camp Galil, Schiyah Chofshit
(Free Swim), and Ice Breakers where all of the visitors got to interact with their chanichim, their madrichim, and one another. This time in the day is really just a taste of what makes it so great
here, but we hope that you all enjoyed yourselves. We certainly enjoyed having you all here. The chanichim will spend the rest of the night relaxing at a drive-in style movie night watching, Honey I Blew Up the Kids, and gearing up for a day full of Tikkun Olam (our yearly service project) doing urban farming work in Philadelphia. What a great way to connect to our kibbutz and agricultural roots!
That's it for tonight and look forward to great stories about tomorrow!

What have they done, moving where visitors' day is held??? Well, I guess you can never go home again. :( Still, looks like fun.
