As the year draws to a close, Habo is only getting started. In just under one month, our campsite will be buzzing, our tents will be set up, and hundreds of kids will once again be
returning to the place they call home for their yearly fill of Habo Magic. And, truly, when it comes to Habo magic, our cup runneth over. Even now, activities are being written, tsevets
are being formed, and Channies are eagerly signing up.
The words on everyone’s lips are “Illegal Immigration”, “Survival night”, and “Havdalah”. Friends are no longer talking about Maths exams but rather what snacks are filling their trommels and what late-night shenanigans they’re cooking up. The rivalry between Sayarim and Shomrim is brewing, and water balloons are being bought en masse. Everyone is dusting off their dancing shoes and the worries of the year are slowly melting away. Hundreds of voices are warming up to join together to sing classic camp songs. The sea is calling our name.
In just under one month we’ll be home. And we’re counting down the minutes.
