First day of the session turned out really great bh! Once buses from NY, Montreal and the airport arrived, campers were given their bunks and enjoyed a delicious grill cheese lunch! No time was wasted once the campers settled into their new bunks, and the lake front was bustling with activity!

Last night, lights out was on time for all sections, giving our new campers a chance to catch up on the missed night’s sleep from their long “red eye” trip up here.

This morning – after Davening and breakfast, our campers are getting ready for their grade trips. Grade 5 is off to a full day trip to Ottawa. Section A, grade 4 is going jet boating, and Section C are off to some great white water rafting. We will report on their amazing day once they return iyh.

Now that the bunk and class lists have been sent by email, feel free to email your son through our site, using his bunk number and section. Our bunks are divided into sections. The sections are: Section A-grade 4, Section B- Grade 5, Section B+-grade 6, and Section C-Grade 7.   Thanks for limiting your emails to four emails a week.

Last night was our mini-banquet as we bid farewell to the campers leaving after first session. Our chef out did himself with a delicious Shnitzel dinner, which was enjoyed by all. Bunk Competition winners, learning class “Kluger” winners, as well as sports, were announced and rewarded accordingly.

The buses rolled into camp, last night, after an amazing day at six-flags-La-Ronde-Amusement Park! Campers and staff enjoyed every minute in the park, on the many rides and roller coaster, they knew so well – and several new attractions that were added for this year!  Everyone met for Mincha and a delicious pizza & fries dinner, outside the park. They returned to enjoy the rides till closing time.  They were each given a freshly baked “black and white cookie” as they lined up to board the buses back to camp. BH for an incredible grand trip day!

Camp was treated to a late revile this morning, to help everyone catch up on some much needed sleep.

In the meantime the masmidim enjoyed our quiet grounds, including a lakeside barbecue and water front activities.

Looking forward to an amazing Shabbos, our last Shabbos of first session; as we sadly bid farewell to our departing campers.

Have a good Shabbos.

BOG WAR is here. Following the break out by lunch, campers hurried to the shul for the division of the teams. With an enthusiastic staff, the spirit was incredible, as the generals and others were ushered into the shul! Campers were divided into the three teams of “Yisroel” “Oiraysa” and “Kudsha Brich Hu”. The three long lines chanting the pesukim at line up, three long tables in the dining room, and three sections in shul, seem to be a really close race. One play was performed last night with the other two to be presented this evening. Certainly an exciting war going on here in camp.

In the meantime the masmidim took a brief break to enjoy a go karting trip and some local shopping.

Section C has been taking turns disappearing from camp in the early morning hours for an enjoyable runaway. Yesterday Kevutzahs gimmel and Yud and today Kevutzahs Ches and Alef- were out early – to the La-Belle picnic area. Kevutzah Daled had their time out by boat – across the lake enjoying breakfast and tubing!

Mazel tov to our two bochurim celebrating their Hanochas tefillin here in camp today. Mazel tov to Yankel Lieberman from West Hempstead NY, and Dovid Okonov from Buffalo NY. Mazel tov to both families!

After a very lively Shabbos, filled with farbrenging, singing, mishnayos bal pah, seder nigunim and lots more, we prepared for the fast day. Campers and staff that were fasting, were treated to a Melave Malka of fresh hot pizza and salad. During the fast, the younger campers were kept occupied with their regular sports and fun and were served the delicious supper of lasagna, corn, salad and cake, before the fast ended.

Mazel Tov to Matti Weingarten from Long Beach California, upon his Bar Mitzvah- celebrated here in camp with his family and friends. Mazel tov and lots of nachas to the entire Weingarten family!

This morning, our hardworking, devoted staff was treated to a lavish breakfast; prepared for them by their devoted head staff members. The great spread of, waffles, assorted yogurts & granola, salads, pastries,  cheeses and much more, were enjoyed by all! Just a token of appreciation for their incredible work with our campers.
