Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! We will be posting about our activities at Camp Ramah. It's our last year in the bunks, and then we are off to the tents. We are all really excited to be at camp, whether it is our first year, or our fourth.

Maccabiah!!!

Maccabiah was a very interesting event. The opening ceremonies for the basketball events took place on the basketball courts themselves. I was on team adom (red). -Gil

Gil and two other campers show off the "Adom" sign.
 Maccabiah ended a few days ago. My team (blue) did pretty well. Basketball was really fun! My team did well even though we thought the basket was slightly tilted. -Marcus


This is Asher in the Dribble Relay for Maccabiah.
 The opening ceremonies for Maccabiah took place on the hill at night. All of the performances were good but I thought the red team's dance was the best. We had a combination of the songs "Wavin' Flag", "The Lion King", and "Never Say Never." The performance was really good and I enjoyed it. -Aviv

"Adam" is the center of attention in Adom's opening ceremony performance.

A camper is in the zone when it comes to the tug-o-war event.
 I was on the yellow team during Maccabiah. One of the first events of the 2nd day for Maccabiah were the swimming events. We didn't do so well in swimming, but we did get 1st place in one of the swimming events! It was for the counselor race. Ari Levin was the counselor who participated. He is a pretty good swimmer. Green did the best in the swimming events. -Zach
 
Zach and other members of sahov. Since yellow is one of the Laker colors, we made a Laker's sign for the yellow team.

After swimming our half of the team switched with the other half and we went on to Track and Field events, which took place on the soccer field. The Track and Field events were really intense. I did the 50 meter dash. I was against all boys and I won! It was hard but really fun. I didn't know that kids at camp are all super fast. -Noa

Noa was in the lead during her 50 meter dash Maccabiah event.
After lunch we had the wacky events. I loved the wacky events even though I wasn't a participant. I did participate in one of the swimming events. Anyways, it was awesome! I was on the yellow team. Sam, one of my friends, was also on yellow and he won the three-legged race with another teammate. He is also the Genie in the play that Giborei is performing. -Victoria


The Wheelbarrow Race was just one of the many wacky games at Maccabiah, it was so cool!
Right after the wacky events came the closing ceremonies. The closing ceremonies were very fun. Yellow's ceremony had a theme about being golden. The blue team was praying in the "Cacholyland" and Red was all about Adomination. Green showed off the many talented team members in their final performance. The results of Maccabiah were surprising. In first place was Yarok (green), followed by Cachol (blue), Sahov (yellow), and last but not least Adom (red) in 4th place. -Sam
 
Green captains cheer for their first place victory!
