Directly from the Director
As camp is wrapping up, and kids are making their final camp memories for the summer, we pause to reflect on the many wonderful experiences we had at SAC. From our overnights in Dosewallips, where campers learned survival skills with Quinn Rose, to the highly acclaimed Color War where Gevura and Bitachon went at it, […]
Boreka or Pizmon?
This weekend marked the final Shabbat at Sephardic Adventure Camp L. While the last hours of Shabbat were definitely bittersweet, campers and staff came together to sing beautiful pizmonim with amazing energy as a segue into our last days of S.A.C. Dr. Larry and Sharon Adatto joined us this weekend for Shabbat. Dr. Adatto gave […]
Color War Final Presentations
After a day and a half of intense relays, melodic songwriting and singing, painting, thoughtful Torah study, and of course cheering, Color War 2013 at S.A.C has come to a close. The schedule of today’s games included all camp soccer, water sports, basketball tournaments, an apache race, and final presentations. The blue team dominated in […]
Stains, Games, and Color Parades
Doors were slamming. Head counselors were screaming. One of them even threw a napkin holder. This kind of outrageous behavior could have only meant one thing… IT’S TIME FOR COLOR WAR AT S.A.C!!! The head staff staged an intense altercation today at lunchtime before CITs Akiva Greenberg and Raphael Alcabes came flying through the doors […]
Let the Sun Shine Down on Shelton
We are continuing to experience fabulous, sunny weather here at S.A.C and our campers are soaking up every ounce of the sun’s brilliance. Campers splashed in the lake, dove for volleyballs in the sand, and enjoyed sessions outside around camp. The 3s and 4s left for their overnight today in Olympia with Quinn, Sarah, Josh, […]
Directly from the Director
Directly from the Director: Parents — I can’t believe one week has flown by up here in sunny Shelton, WA. It started out with some serious rain, but even more serious energy at camp. This week has been filled with many memorable experiences- some new to SAC and some old. Campers enjoyed making wind-chimes in […]
First Annual Nona and Papu Day
Sephardic Adventure Camp is a truly spectacular organization. It is proof that a small group of individuals passionate about sponsoring Jewish growth and continuing Sephardic tradition can make tremendous impacts on many generations of campers and families. Started in 1955 with collaborated efforts from Sephardic Bikur Holim and Ezra Bessaroth, the camp had a mission […]
Am Yisrael Chai, Israel and S.A.C at 65!
Do you know what the five holy cities in Israel are? Can you name at least three of the vast number of innovations created in Israel? Ever heard this song by the Y-Studs? The answers to these questions are just a few of the things that Sephardic Adventure Campers learned during Israel Day programming today. […]
Spotlight on Sessions
Today during their bunk activity, the G4 girls gained some journalism experience by formulating questions and interviewing both Chacham Aryeh Greenberg and Rabbi Owen about the sessions that they had taught that day. Below is the synthesized information. This project was a collaborated effort between myself (Makena), Rabbi Owen, and Chacham Aryeh: Chacham Aryeh has […]
S.A.B.T at S.A.C (Shiva Asar B’Tammuz at Sephardic Adventure Camp)
We have just recently broken the fast of Shiva Asar B’Tammuz, the 17th of Tammuz, here at Sephardic Adventure Camp. Those campers who were fasting filled their bellies with delicious Chinese stir fry and are now headed to the lodge with gooey brownies in hand to watch “Wreck it Ralph.” Today at S.A.C, our educational […]
