It's so cool that you were there the very first summer...
Do you have any interesting stories/experiences that you can share with us?
How many girls were there in your bunk?
Who were the directors?
Where did you sleep?
Who were the head counselors?
Hope you don't mind all my questions... |
There was a bungalow colony called Davis or Davids nearby. We used their outdoor pool sometimes and the elderly women loved coming over on Shabbos afternoon to the shiur or to anything exciting.The major play,headed by Mrs. Tyberg,was a holocaust story. Of course we invited them. They all ended up leaving in the midst since it was too real & painful for them,survivors. They complimented us anyways...What were we thinking..
Shabbos nachmi was a huge event with tons of guests. We went all out to impress them with our new camp.
My 'chayil' had about 30 girls,a great bunch from different schools.
Camp director was Mrs. Mintz uh,special awesome lady. Program director was Mrs. Suri Weinbaum.(Buksbaum)There were so many ladies in head staff that first year.
We slept either 3 or 6 in a room in the main building,one flight up. (The casas were also used then.)
Esther Rivky Buksbaum,now Hass, & Shaindy Reisz,now Gross were fantastic headcounselors. Theme was haschili ;derhoib dem new unhoib.
Don't mind your questions at all!
Have many experiences,but don't want to bore u!
