Camp Merockdim! Are
you ready to fly
high??!! 20 years have
gone by…let’s make
today a great day!
Hey! Merockdimair is
ready for takeoff!
Flashback to summer
2008! Lineup was
exercisingful and shiur
was meaningful,
activities were joyful
and arts and crafts
were creatingful. Each
camper began to
create a beautiful glass
plate with figures of
their family! It’s going to
be amazing cuz
everything is amazing.
Lunch is here! Let’s go
eat! Meatballs and
spaghetti!! Lets all get
ready…we are not
stead…cuz we love to
eat something saucy!
There was some
healthy green beans
on the side “as well as”
tunafish! Yum! As soon
we were done, we
were up on our feet,
screaming to the sound
of hey hey hey we
were up on our feet
screaming and
dancing with Rachel
Fine on the front lines.
dynamite! Dinosaur!
We all shook the floor!!
Benching was
spectacular as Chani lost
her voice and Rifky knew
all the words! By that time
we were swimming in the
heated pool as we all got
very wet and very cool.
Back at camp, we all went
to the gym for merockdim
fever! Merockdimair is here
and we are ready to travel
around the world!! First off
to Russia to race as we try
on our winter clothes. Then
off to Israel and not Iseal
thanks ZC, as everyone
wrote letters to Chani, Rifky
and ZC! What letters did
we get! We love you
Merockdim! Then we
traveled to New York
where we bobbed for
apples in the BIG APPLE,
then Hindy and Esti
helped us make candy
sushi in Japan, with some
fluffer nutter without nuts.
Last but not least we
arrived in Italy where we
had a pasta/spaghetti
race! We all rotated and
danced along to the
music! As always good
times were had by all!
With some yummy freeze
pops to end our day, we
hope it will never end!

THURSDAY: after a
morning full of trucks and
buses, we are ready for
the RIDE OF OUR LIVES! All
dressed in our
amusement park gear,
we walked through the
ride and onto
Merockdim’s crazy rides!
Its summer 2014! Let’s
take a walk down
memory lane as we all
sang our camp song from
that year! Michal Ratner,
Sara Guy, & Esther
Kramer linked hands and
sang lets go fly a kite
really high and loud! Its
food decorating time!
Shani Kirshner had us all
creating cookie grills, with
shish kabobs and franks!
So cute! So cayute! Rabbi
Goldstein spoke about
the details in Parshas

Balak and also discussed
the following
lessons. 1)Hashem often
helps and protects us
without our knowing
about it. 2)If a person is
not working on
becoming better he
won't change even if he
sees a miracle 3) The
importance of not
embarrassing other
people. So after a crisp
davening we were off to
lunch at the boys camp!
It was a yummy Fish sticks
and rice lunch! Some
rice for me and fish sticks
for you, or maybe tuna
or none for Rifky only a
hobo sandwich. After a
#TBT where we sang the
camp song from summer
2014, can’t believe how
everyone even
remembered the
motions, we went right
into our awesome and
amazing camp song and
we brought down the
house! An announcement
whoo! An announcement
whoo! Its time for guess
what?? Leagues!! Teams
were announced as we
had, Kix, Captain Crunch,
Grillers, Roasted
Marshmallows, Yeezy’s,
Pumas and so many more!
Can’t wait to see who will
make it through to the
final championships! Its
time for Merockdim fever!
We all got balloons blown
up and taped to our
backs, we stood around
the whole gym. Then in the
center was a HUGE
popcorn box filled with
popcorn!! We all got cups,
then when we
heard…things like
whoever is wearing
something sparkly we ran
up to fill our cups before
4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
the whistle blows and our
balloons get popped!
From running to eating to
eating some more, we
tried to fill up our bunks
bags until bunk 5 made
it! Yay! Out of breath girls
and full counselors
ended our great ride
through the very best
amusement park known
as MEROCKDIM!!
