As the summer wraps up...Seneca is still flying high!

After a crazy week with the Color War and Seneca day, Seneca also led services with Cayuga and it was a terrific group effort. The theme was Initiative and almost 30 Senecans wrote services pieces. Many also performed musical acts including Izzy Calkins' solo, an amazing acapella song led by Elyssa Sham and Shayna DeMari, a mini dance to Matisyahu's "One Day" and we even brought back a song called Hillel that was sung by Seneca in 2004. The girls did a great job and held the attention of everyone.
Saturday S-3 and S-4 went on a campout to Ithaca. The girls had a blast from the bus rides to the food and good company. Monday S-5 and S-6 went on a canoe overnight trip across the lake. It turned in to be an adventure they will never forget. The campouts have been highlights of the summer for many Senecans this summer.

Last night was Campstock and there were many Seneca acts! We saw dances by Sydney Gray and Aliyah McCrindle, songs by Jenny Kingsley and Izzy Calkins, a skit with Geena May and Deborah Siegel-Edelman and a cup stacking routine performed by Lexi Boehnlein and Sarah Cohen! S-5 counselor Leah Friedman sang "Three Times a Lady" dressed up as a yenta and the Seneca Staff rewrote the words to Brittney Spear's "Oops I Did It Again" with an interesting twist for the campers and staff. It was a night many will remember in the years to come. It was so nice seeing so many Senecans participate!
Only a few days remain but we still have many programs to look forward to!
