This summer, Camp Kaylie hosted its first ever “Thank You Hashem” day. TYH day began with an inspiring chinuch activity where campers were asked what they thank Hashem for each and every day. Every specialty connected to the Thank You Hashem theme. From TYH cupcake making to sports it was all geared towards thanking Hashem for what we have. All campers received a “Thank You Hashem/Kaylie ” shirt which created excitement throughout the day leading up to the TYH marathon! Participants arrived by the starting line to an amazing DJ farbrengen who pumped everyone up for the marathon. As the start-time approached, each camper received a unique racing bib with their personal number. The head staff were out in full force to cheer on the campers. Their enthusiasm was infectious and their cheers provided a much-needed boost to the tireless runners. Whether they were offering encouragement at the starting line or celebrating with finishers, the division heads exemplified leadership and support, embodying the spirit of the marathon.

The Thank You Hashem marathon wasn’t just about crossing the finish line; it was about coming together as a community, supporting one another, and joining together, thanking Hashem and recognizing that it all comes from Him. The event highlighted the importance of teamwork and the joy that comes from participating in something greater than oneself.
