21 Signs That You Went To Camp Judaea

Do certain smells bring back fond memories of your favorite summer pastime? Does the sight of neon make you want to break out into an Israeli Dance? Camp Judaea holds a special place in all of our hearts. How many fond memories can you remember?

1. You never needed to watch the Summer Olympics because you had Bikkurim

Choco Taco anyone?

2. Your name is written on every corner of Omanut

As long as someone didn't write over it...

3. Overnights were never this intents (intense/in tents....get it)!

and it never rained--ever

4. You get that adrenaline rush everytime the BO song comes on

even when you're doing "My back's breaking, my belt's too tight" for the 9th time in a row

5. Paint War and Capture the Mattress were only the start of the fun

"I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream." -Vincent Van Gogh

6. You came "this" close to catching Mr. Whiskers

7 broken rods later...

7. French Toast Sticks are the best way to start the day!

Don't even get me started with the Biscuits and Scrambled Eggs #drooling

8. You know to cover your ears when the smallest campers are present

We are small and tiny...

Decibel count > 150

9. You take more pictures in the 15 minutes before Shabbat than you do the whole week

As you awaited your Shabbat-O-Gram from that special someone

10. In the Chadar Ochel, it's 100% acceptable to break out into song and dance

It's actually highly recommended.

11. You double-majored in Ice Breakers and Name Games

with a minor in "Where the wind blows" and "Little Sally Walker"

12. Making the map of Israel meant one thing...

CAKE AND ICE CREAM!

13. Katniss has nothing on you

You'd do ANYTHING to win that coke

14. You were always jealous that you didn't have a summer birthday

Skip around the room! Make aliyah!

15. Themed Meals gave you an excuse to eat without utensils

Bedouin Tent anyone?

16. Your cabins never looked this pretty

Or this eco-friendly!

17. Summer was a time for family reunions. You were cousins with everyone.

The population of Puerto Rico drops significantly for one month each summer.

18. You cry everytime you see this candle

If you're not crying, you must've fallen asleep before candle passing

19. Fire Signs give you such mixed emotions

You cried as you sang #FOJAL before the hour-long slideshow/cryfest

20. You live to Rikkud and you Rikkud to live

We leave everything we've got on that court. And when it's all over; when we walk off that court for the last time, our hearts crumble. Those tears are real. But deep down inside, we are very proud of ourselves. We will forever be what few can call ourselves...Judaeans.

21. You will always know the address to your 2nd home and you live 10 months for 2 that are "Full of Joy and Laughter" with your best friends in the world

48 Camp Judaea Lane. Relive the memories at CampJudaea.org or see the magic again in the Camp Judaea Video.

We miss you too. Full of Joy and Laughter #fojal
