Nitzanim/Abirim Overnight

We left to go on our overnight on Sunday after lunch. We went to the Lake Casitas water park. It had a lot of water slides on a playground. It also had a lazy river with a waterfall at the end. After an hour or two, we went to this campground where we were going to stay the night. We put down all our sleeping bags on a tarp. The boys had a tarp, and the girls had their own tarp far from the boys tarp. We had dinner, then did the skit "Eggs." It's a camp tradition where our counselors do a skit in all these different kinds of styles. Then we went to sleep. In the morning, it was freezing cold. We had breakfast then left to go back to Ramah. -Ethan

After lunch on Sunday, Nitzanim and Abirim went to Lake Casitas. First, we went into Lake Casitas Water Park and went through the lazy river about ten times. In the same water park they had a water playground with a lot of small water slides and spouts of water. It was pretty cool. Then we lined up to get on the bus and went to our campsite to set up our sleeping bags. After that, we waited until dinner and for dinner we had chicken nuggets, pickles, rolls of bread, and some green beans. Then we gathered around the campfire and did "Eggs." It was so funny! We then had s'mores, sang songs, and went to bed. It the morning we prayed with our bunks and had cereal, fruit, and rocky mountain toast. -Ella

On our overnight at Lake Casitas, we first went to a fantastic water park. Everybody went on the Lazy River! After we dried up we gathered on the bus, and made a quick arrival at the luxurious campsite. We unpacked our sleeping bags onto the big, blue tarp. Then we sat in our bunk lines, and heard some Mishnah from our great counselors. To figure out which bunks would get their food first, one of our counselors asked jeopardy questions. My bunk got in line second to last, and we got our food! We ate chicken with veggies and fruit. Everyone loved it! Soon enough after everyone finished eating, we all gathered around the campfire and sang, did "eggs" skits, and enjoyed some s'mores. As we woke up the next morning we had a great breakfast of rocky mountain toast. Before we knew it, we were rolling up our sleeping bags and boarding the bus. I wish I could go back! -Grace

Yesterday, we went on our overnight. First, we went to the Lake Casitas water park. We then went to our campsite, got settled, and ate dinner. After dinner, we sang songs and did skits and ate s'mores. Then we all went to bed. The next morning we woke up and ate breakfast. At the end of the overnight we packed up and went back to camp. -Yael

All our bags were packed, and we were ready to go. Anticipation was rushing through our bodies, and everyone was wondering the same thing: Would the buses ever leave? Finally, after what felt like hours of waiting, the bus pulled out of the driveway, and we were off! After about ten minutes of driving we reached the Lake Casitas water park. In a frenzy, tickets were handed out and everyone began lining up by bunk while our counselors told us the rules. Then, in an orderly fashion, Camp Ramah's 4th and 5th graders pushed through the gate and began running towards the lazy river, the jungle gym, or the kiddie pools. After hours of fun, the dripping wet, blue lipped, shivering campers boarded the bus to the campsite. It was a night of Hawaiian chicken, "eggs" skits, campfire songs, and of course s'mores. After much laughing and talking, we headed off to bed. In the morning, after a breakfast of rocky mountain toast and rice crispies, we rolled up our sleeping bags, packed our jammies, and boarded everything onto the bus. We were sad to leave, but happy to be able to shower! -Noa
