[edit] Yom Sport
There is a special day that occurs once a summer, usually in July. This is called "Yom Sport" and is Camp Ramah in Muskoka's Colour War. This is organized by the Alonim. When Yom Sport was first created, there were two teams, but in the mid-80's it changed to three teams, and finally in the year 2000, the first unit attempted to have four teams, introducing the colours gray and white to be team colours. Throughout the day, campers in younger units participate in activities such as swimming, track and field, and sports. The day concludes with a marathon that involves campers from each unit completing tasks. It usually takes over an hour to complete.
