Everyday Ezra #56

In Israel, kids get off for Pesach on vav (6) Nisan. And so there is a pre-Pesach camp. We went to the Chava v'Adam Ecological Farm camp. At the camp, we did hikes, played games, and all other kinds of things.  The first day of camp we found a dead snake and buried it.  The second day we made an oven for pita.  We made the oven out of mud. The mud was made out of water, soil and straw. On top of the oven, we put a big metal plate. The third day we made pita and every other group made a different food. Some made chocolate covered corn flakes, cookies, popcorn, tea, lemonade and focacia. On the fourth day we had a huge tiyul (hike) to the hills. We saw cows from a different kibbutz. We stopped at a big acacia tree, it is what giraffes eat from, but they are much bigger in Africa than in Israel. After we came back from the hike another group made pizza. On the last day of camp, Thursday, we went on a hike to different hills, to a cave. On the hike we saw shrew holes, deer poop, and a snake trying to eat a lizard. The lizard dropped its tail, I didn't see it, but that's what it looked like. Then we hiked a lot more and then we got to the cave. In the cave there was a fig tree that was sick. When we came back, we didn't really do anything that fun. We returned to camp that evening from 5-9pm.  On regular days we got out at 1pm, but didn't stay from 1-5pm. During the evening, we gathered sticks for a fire and put rocks around a place for the fire. After everyone brought the sticks back, then we made a fire and ate dinner which was rice, lentils, cucumbers and tomatoes.

I'm sorry that the farm's website is in Hebrew. I'll post soon.
