After a successful 10-day camp at our local ḍar šbab, Mal and I begin planning for our autumn program.  But summer is not behind us yet, so I will share many fun photos from the extraordinary summer camp (a picture paints a thousand words).

I so enjoyed re-connecting with counselors and campers who
were so welcoming at spring camp when we first arrived at our site

A visit from a clown friend made for enjoyable entertainment.

The food was good.  As always, lots of hubz.

Hungry campers!

Mal documented the events with a couple hours of video,
made into two movies.

Many energetic and enthusiastic counselors
work the various ḍar šebab camps

I particularly enjoyed volunteering to help
with art classes.

Mal calls this Superhero "Hatman".

Hatman #2.

90 kids hike to Imi n Ifri.

Imi n Ifri mzyan.  Cool water and swimming holes.

Follow the trail but don't drop any boxes!

Seriously, this is much harder than it looks.

Sack races!

This was an intricate game involving the transport of water
from one tub to another while manipulating a series of ropes.

Walking backwards along a path using a hand-held mirror.

A good counting game: separate the beans and seeds by type
 in record time.

A cap with a sharp nail protruding served as
a balloon-popping instrument. 

Pool time.

Final night's performance.

A beautiful Berber dance performance.

In the summertime when the weather is hot...
