My most vivid memory was being awakened from a sound sleep probably around 3:00 AM by someone shining a flashlight in my face (maybe 6” from my eyes and screaming “where are the cigarettes” we did smoke but at that moment I had none. A couple of the other guys in the bunk did. They later told us that they were forced marched for some miles with shovels and dug a 6’ “cigarettes grave” buried the cigarettes and marched aback.

Best summers ever. Israeli music playing over the PA all day, and those long hikes to Loch Sheldrake. Who could ever forget riflery where we learned to take a <br />rifle apart and put it back together again.

After being asked to move camper's luggage which I physically couldn't and seeing people in uniforms with rifles at flagpole I called home to ask my parents to take me home. Fortunately they didn't. It turned out to be one of the best summer's of my life. There was such ruach! The kids in the camp weren't spoiled and they and I loved the trampoline and lake. The camp director at the time (forget his name -? Jerry) gave some excellent advice which I used in future years as a parent. When I decided on the spur of the moment I wanted to take my bunk on a hike without permission from the director, the kitchen made sandwiches and another counselor joined me with his bunk. When we returned instead of getting in trouble<br /> they congratulated us and baked a cake in our honor. <br /><br />Barbara Katzeff nee CohenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471781425826890214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674370443234632145.post-66323880092307010132014-07-09T21:08:14.721+03:002014-07-09T21:08:14.721+03:00I was a counselor in 1958.
