Ruach Day Camp to Host Community Picnic on July 3

Ruach Day Camp, located on the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County’s Plainview campus, is holding its first annual community (pre-) Independence Day picnic on Wednesday, July 3, at 5:30 p.m. 

The picnic celebration will include games with prizes for all of the participants, face painting, arts and crafts projects and a bounce house. The pizza, salad and pasta at the picnic will be catered by Hunkis Dairy Restaurant located just a few blocks away from the campus.

All families are encouraged to bring their own blankets to help create the picnic atmosphere. The event costs $20 per family which will include food and access to all activities with a $5 discount for families affiliated with Ruach.

As this event promises to be stellar, all attendees must make a reservation to gain entry. Reservations can be emailed to ruachsari@gmail.com.

As part of this event, the day camp has invited servicemen/women from the U.S. armed forces and their families to join in the festivities.

“We felt that meeting a real soldier would make the significance of July 4 and what we are celebrating that much more meaningful for the children”, said Sari Kahn, director of Ruach in Plainview.

“The Fourth of July is a great time for everyone to enjoy the wonderful activities planned by Ruach Plainview,” said Assemblyman Michael Montesano (R, I, C-Glen Head). “I’m looking forward to taking part in Ruach Plainview’s Fourth of July Picnic and encourage the Plainview community to take part in this event and help honor our shared history and heritage as Americans.”
