Saturday

Well, we have reached the last Shabbat of the summer and what a Shabbat it was.  We began the weekend with services in the Chapel followed by an outstanding dinner.  After dinner we had our annual dance show and it was truly awesome to see some of the performances our campers and staff put on.  This morning we woke to another beautiful day and were greeted by an amazing buffet breakfast, followed by a choice of services and Tikunna Mattata.  After lunch we had our final all camp of the summer, The Amazaing Race. This all-camp was put on by our CIT’s and they did a great job of ensuring everyone had a lot of fun.  Tonight was a cook out dinner and Camp Fire.  Tomorrow is another regular activity day with our Mt. Washington hike heading out bright and early.

Thursday

Today was trip day.  The Critters went to Big Adventure.  The Prowlers & Summits went to FunTown.  The Timbers went to Scarborough beach.  After a pizza dinner, we had our last dance of the summer on the Tennis Courts.

Wednesday

Today was the third and final day of Color War X.  The morning started with everyone’s favorite, The Micah Marathon.  The Marathon was highly competitive, with Gold just edging out Blue in the rope burn.  This afternoon the Sing was held in Uncle Milts and it was so great to see how into everything our Campers and Staff were.  While both teams were amazing, Blue was crowned the winner.  Now for the news everyone wants to know, who won Color War?  The winner of Color War X was…GOLD!  Congratulations to both teams for an amazing three days.  Tomorrow is trip day and everyone was very excited to hear that.

Pictures to follow soon…

Today was the second day of Color War and what a beautiful day it was!  The morning started off with Unit Activities followed by a staff favorite…Silent Lunch!  Each team presented some very creative cheers.  This afternoon, teams competed in our Swim Meet and Track Meet.  The athleticism and sportsmanship were commendable.  Tonight we introduced a new Color War All Camp Activity called “Minute to Win it,” based off of the popular game show.  Contestants each had one minute to complete a ridiculous task and the winner earned points for his or her team.  Campers headed back to their bunks in time for curfew so everyone could get a good night’s rest to prepare for our final day of Color War 2010

Stephen & the Abends at Alumni Day

Alumni Day was a perfect Micah Day.  Camp was visited by many, many formers campers and staff who enjoyed a delicious lunch, time at the pool and waterfront, and most importantly a great day with our Micah family.  When all of our visitors left, it was time for our campers and staff to celebrate Micah’s 10th anniversary.  For dinner we dressed up as our favorite Micah memory and got to watch 10 years of Micah slide shows during dessert (a really yummy sundae bar).  After dinner and a spontaneous dance party we all went to the softball hill for fireworks.   Just as it was ending gladiators pulled up on a horse drawn chariot and  . . . you guessed it . . . Color War X is under way.

Fireworks over the Campus Center!
