Now that our new campers have settled in, the second month has taken off with a bang, with nonstop activity. Last night all departments of the camp gathered on top of the hill for an amazing bike show! The stunts were incredible, and the spirit was soring!

First session came to an end with a lively award ceremony, followed by a mini banquet with lots of song and cheer!
It was hard to say goodbye to the departing campers as they boarded the buses to the airport, Montreal and NY. Simultaneously, the buses rolled in from Toronto, Montreal, NY and the airport as campers headed to the shul to meet their new bunkmates and counselors. The new campers quickly settled into their new bunkhouses and then enjoyed a delicious lunch followed by sports.
The bunk and class lists will IYH be sent to all parents by email tomorrow afternoon. Please hold off on the sending emails till you get your son’s new bunk number. It is important that you use the bunk number when sending him his emails.
Looking forward to another amazing month with our campers and staff! Off to a great start BH!
