Another summer gone by, another sad month of September spent missing everything about Camp Miriam- don't worry, we get it. Fortunately, the Vancouver Ken is geared up for another amazing year! At Reunion we got to reminisce the good times at camp as well as get excited for the ken events to come! Make sure you read the entire newsletter for all the important details that are happening in the Vancouver ken during this month.
Chag Sameach and Shanah Tovah!

Reunion
We all had a great time and reconnected with our friends and madrichim from machaneh at reunion! We had kvutza time with our ken kvutzot, then had an awesome carnival and played a game. We closed the event with mifkad, just like at machaneh (minus the flag). What a fun event to kick off another amazing year in the Vancouver ken!
