Thanks from Israel

The highlight of parents’ night tonight at Camp Shalom, for me, anyhow, was when Yoni and Yonatan, in a projected video clip showing them leaning on the fully-depressed barrel of a Merkava tank in a motor pool somewhere in Israel, thanked all the campers for their letters. All the kids cheered. Mr. Boy said Yoni was the favorite, and he probably got the most letters, because his name was "the shortest and so it was the easiest to write." Yoni did seem to smile the broadest in the clip, as if he was sharing a private joke.

Camp Shalom

Mr. Boy concluded his first week of day camp at the J this afternoon, still as enthusiastic as he was after the first day. I ask about it, of course, but I just get snips and bits of the experience, usually on the way home. Today, in addition to swimming and crafts and tug-of-war, they had a camping/nature segment in which "we learned skills to survive in the woods." Such as? "Rope," he said. "Definitely."

School’s almost out

Posted on May 22, 2007 | Comments Off on School’s almost out

Just two more days and Mr. Boy is off for ten days–until Camp Shalom begins on June 4, a day camp at the J featuring swimming, science, crafts, athletics, music and art. And mornings and early afternoons off for me just like in the school year. Yay. In the interim, we’ll play some catch, fly a kite if the wind’s right, and go sailing, assuming the sloop‘s outboard is fixed by then. Should be.
