The Return of the Alufim Trophy

Last summer, I instituted a new concept in Alufim, and that was the Alufim Trophy! This summer, we will be adding the Alufot Trophy. The Trophy will be handed, at the beginning of the summer, to a camper who competes and wins one of the first night activities of the summer. From then on, that camper will have to defend his trophy in other spontaneous contests throughout the summer. A trophy can be taken away by the Division Head from the trophy holder if they display bad behavior. What do you get if you are the trophy holder? Well, first of all, you cannot be denied a golf cart ride if either Sarah or myself are driving one, and there is room for you. Secondly, if you are holding the trophy on a Friday, you and a friend of your choosing will go to Dee Jays and Pizza. Lastly, you will be able to cut the line at the canteen.
Important Disclaimer: The Trophy holder does not get an exemption from going to Shiur.

Surprises

We are hard at work planning a bunch of surprises for Fim/Fot this Summer. We are working very closely with JerJo, and I can already promise you some big surprises for this summer....and they are good! Just be Patient!

Film Class

This summer, the Alufim will get the honor of having a special "Film Class" with Natan weeknights in the bunk. No one knows as much about movies as I do, and I will educate you on 
classic movies that everyone should see.

Road Trip Day 4-5: Washington D.C

At last we have come to my favorite part of the trip - SHABBOS. Let's start with Friday. Every summer the Washington DC Friday part of the trip has changed. We've gone Ice Skating, gone to the Washington Zoo, and a speedboat ride. So you never really know what to expect. But we always eat pizza on the lawn of the Washington Monument - a road trip highlight. We will get to our hotel early. A word about the hotels on the trip. The hotels get nicer as the trip goes on, and the hotel in Washington is Awesome! It is a beautiful hotel - The Sheraton Four Points. On Friday Night we will walk to the National Synagogue for a beautiful davening and dinner (The Rabbi is out of his mind). And Friday night we will have a room with snacks, games, and hopefully continue the FimFot tradition of playing a big game of Mafia. Shabbos itself will also be relaxing and enjoyable, capped off by the annual Sholosh Seudos program. Saturday night - a BBQ and Show at Atara Yudin's sisters house who lives in Washington.

Camp Week 1

Highlight of the first week of camp:
Morasha Film Festival, Como Leagues Begin, Machzor Bet Night Trip...and First Ever Camp Wide Stomp Competition (Division vs Division, so start thinking of ideas!)

Road Trip Day 3: Virginia Beach

Every summer without fail the Virgina Beach leg of the trip is rated the best day (besides for Shabbos of course). We begin the day biking on the boardwalk. Now, I know this might sound boring, but it's actually a lot more fun than you think. First of all, these aren't one person bikes. Wendy the bike Lady provides us with 2 person, 3 person, and even 6 person bicycles. The boardwalk has a ton of great sights to see including the famous Oxygen Bar...you'll understand when you get there. From there we travel to Motor World, the country's best Go-Karting park. There is a game in the park that so far no one in FIMFOT has ever won. Will this years FIMFOT win the first time?
