It has been amazing to watch all the campers rally for their teams, showing incredible spirit and stamina. At the end of Color War, Yarden came out on top! He said that while the competition level was intense, he was so impressed to see how everyone maintained a sense of true sportsmanship throughout the morning. He described the Haesh Relay as an incredible display of coordination across so many areas of camp. One of our local photographers, Matt, experienced this event for the first time while he was capturing the action. This morning, all campers participated in the Maerotz Haesh Relay (Race to the Fire Relay), which was the culminating all camp relay ending with the burning of the rope on The Michael Jeser Bog Field. All of the teams competed in various events throughout Color War including Key to the Competition, Culture Bowl, Gordon Games, Aquatics Day, All Camp Relay, Beat the Clock, and Songfest. Captains were announced and the Dig for the Heart began as the whole camp cheered on their respective teams. The whole camp ran down to the beach to see all of the Color War Flags. The Dining Hall began buzzing with excitement as “Eye of the Tiger” played over the sound system. As campers bit into all the cupcakes, they were met by filling of red, yellow, blue, or white. In the Dining Hall, campers and staff were served pizza for “dinner”, followed by cupcakes for dessert. We then took the flag down while singing Hatikva. We all arrived at the flagpole in backwards shirts and hats to see the flag had already been raised. We started the day announcing that it was Backwards Day. Typically, this chant is met with “5,6,7,8, You Still Have to Wait!” On Tuesday morning, however, the wait was finally over. Every summer during Second Session, the chant of “1, 2, 3, 4, We Want Color War!” happens early and often, and this year was no exception. Color War is a three and a half day competition where the camp is broken into four teams: Sharon (red), Yarden (yellow), Galil (white), and Negev (blue).
