Week Two at Mogen Av!

By | News, Summer 2019 | No Comments

Trip one is ROCKING!
Leagues. Cookouts. Bonfires. Trips. Games. Night Activities.
All in a typical week at Camp Mogen Av

THIS IS CMA!

 

MArom and MA’aleh go to Scranton

The trip began with a couple hours at the Skyzone trampoline park, but that was just to wear ’em out. Next stop was a RailRiders baseball game, with the first pitch thrown by our very own Yossi Klass. Supper was by the tailgate, and the game was nonstop fun. Then to top it off, there was an amazing fireworks display after the game that put this trip right over the top!

 

Yukel Day 2019

And the winner is:
JD!!
The day you know and love, Yukel Day has come (and passed)! Shout out to the Junior Division team of Marketing Mishaps! An honorable mention to the Senior team of Air Travel, the MA’aleh team of Division, and the MArom team of Emotion!

 

Bowling Trips for Everyone

It might not be Thanksgiving, but that didn’t stop the turkeys from rolling. On Tuesday, MArom and MA’aleh divisions were treated to a bowling outing, followed by Senior and Junior divisions who went yesterday. Bowl on!

 

Human Hungry Hungry Hippos

In a loud and exciting scuffle, 8 teams competed to collect as many colored balls as they could. Armed with helmets, wheels, and a crate, they were ‘wheelbarrowed’ around the gym as their teammates roared with laughter!

 

Visiting Day, Trip One, 2019

This Sunday (July 7th) will be Visiting Day. We look forward to seeing you on our beautiful campus located in Swan Lake. Visiting hours are from 11:30am-5:30pm. A complimentary lunch will be served in the dining room from 12:30pm to 2pm.
We have an extraordinarily dedicated, caring and responsible group of staff here in Mogen Av. They spend their day building healthy relationships trying to find the personalized formulas to ensure your son has a growing, exciting stay in camp both in Ruchniyus and Gashmiyus. It goes without saying that they are strong role models with exemplary Middos Tovos. The camp has a mandatory tipping policy as a way of showing Hakoras Hatov to the staff members who tirelessly care for your son on a daily basis.
Many of our staff depend solely on tips as their compensation for their hard work and as such, we are requiring parents to tip the staff that have done such a wonderful job with your son. Please show your appreciation accordingly. A tipping schedule can be found in the Visiting Day brochure and is available in the office.

Welcome to Summer 2019!

Welcome campers old and new!
The summer is off to a fantastic start as we approach our first shabbos in camp!
THIS IS CMA!

S’mores in a Cone!
As if arriving in camp wasn’t enough of an excitement, we started off Day 1 with S’mores in a cone! Hot off the grill, these delicious and sticky treats were handed out as campers waited to receive their bunks. These tasty goodies made the return to camp sweeter than ever!
Up For Anything – Year Five!
Thursday night, in a messy chaos, campers did things they never thought were possible! This wonderful activity provided a perfect ice breaker for new and old campers to meet. From slimy spaghetti to shaving cream to chocolate syrup, nothing was left out of this crazy, wacky and, most of all, hilarious night activity!
Air-O-Sport
A whole new way to play Ultimate! Our campers saw first hand the level of skill required to knock off those little rockets! What a time the MA’aleh division had!
9 Square in the Air
The perfect 9 player volleyball game! The Senior Division had quite some time knocking the ball about. Next time we are going to try it in our black-light arena…
Mountain Boarding
Summer + Snowboarding = Perfection
Our Juniors got to try their hand on the gorgeous hill overlooking White Lake!
AND THIS WAS ONLY THE FIRST THREE DAYS!

Senior Division Ultimate Frisbee Tournament – Winter Edition!

By | News | One Comment

A message from Avraham Amster, Senior Division Head

 

The event that you have been asking for all year!

It all started when I suggested after Maariv on the last night of camp that wouldn’t it be awesome if we could get together during the year to play Ultimate!
Since then, every time I bump into one of you in yeshiva, at the reunion, or on Main Street, all I hear is “When are we doing it?” “When are we doing it?”

LET’S DO IT!

The original idea was to do it in Vleigh Park, but the weather hasn’t really cooperated…
So…

We rented a really cool INDOOR field!

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
Winter Edition
Senior Division
Ultimate Frisbee Tournament

THIS MOTZAI SHABBOS

Let’s do CAMP for an hour and a half! It’s gonna be intense, non-stop, wear you out, frisbee!
Can’t wait to see you guys!
And yes, I AM PLAYING 🙂
~Avraham
