Things took off fast to a great start BH!

Campers are settled in their bunks and classes; and got to know the CGI grounds and friends really well.  After a day of activities, our campers and staff were treated to our first in-house-entertainment (better known as in-house-E) as we were sat captured by the amazing work of the professional Hypnotist.

In the meantime Section C took no time to head out for their first trip of the summer to “ Isaute -bouncing”  followed by a delicious pizza dinner in the well-known Cavendish mall food court. Campers returned to camp after an amazing outing in high spirits!

When all was still and campers were enjoying some much needed sleep, our staff gathered for a candid professional talk by Rabbi Ringo from Montreal. We are grateful to Rabbi Ringo for his annual visits to camp, in helping us learn how to keep our campers safe in the camp environment.

Calling days will IYH be starting today, Friday June 30^th. Please visit our website to determine which day to expect a call from your son. CGI appreciates the cooperation of all parents with our calling schedule. We understand that each parent would like to speak to his son daily or at least before Shabbos or at least the first week. For the benefit of your son and the camp schedule we greatly appreciate your cooperation and not calling or emailing camp – asking for an exception to this schedule! We understand how anxious parents can get and thank you in advance for waiting for the calling day!

Every parent would have liked to be a fly on the wall watching his son last night! Wow what an event the grand sing turned out to be! The shul was set up as a Chabad house and Beis hamikdash, with each team dressed up to suit that theme. Team Ahava was dressed up as Chabad house visitors, and Team Yirah were Kohanim. The lively, grand sing had every camper literally jumping with excitement as they enjoyed the Songs, comedy, nigunum, lessons, farbrengen, lchaim and Hachlotas shared by the head staff and the staff of both teams. Rabbi B. Mockin shared words of inspiration connected to the themes of both teams.  Throughout the evening campers were given burgers, snacks and drinks to keep them going. A great shout out to our amazing waiters and waiter counselor for all the arrangements, and of course to our kitchen staff.  The climax of color war proved to be a highlight for all!

Section C returned late last night, just as the grand sing was coming to an end. The boys had an overwhelming trip to Montreal. A packed two days was arranged for them, including: bowling, jet boating, ice skating, pizza pita, laser tag,  indoor go-karting, overnight hotel stay including a lavish breakfast,   Cruise lunch, and restaurant dinner. The trip was an absolute blast, and the campers were ecstatic  when they returned to camp bh.

This morning all campers are being treated to a late revile as we prepare for our last shabbos of the summer IY”H. Looking forward to a special Shabbos.

Have a good Shabbos.

Early in the evening, campers returned from a full day in Montreal’s Six-Flags-La Ronde after a great sunny day, enjoying the rides and fun the park has to offer. Campers and staff headed straight to the shul for Mariv, where they were greeted by a quick color war break out, and the division of teams, Ahavah and Yirah, as well as general entrances etc. Color war is certainly in the air, with signs and banners hanging throughout the grounds; and campers dressed according to their team color. A great two day color war lies ahead iyh.

Section C campers and staff were bused to La belle for their play grand off game of the season. In a well lit baseball field the campers were served hot soup, fresh doughnuts, and more; as they enjoyed the intense and exciting baseball game! The staff outdid themselves in arranging the amazing outing.

 

We thank all the parents for taking the long trip up to camp for visiting day yesterday!   Following visiting hours, we celebrated a siyum Hashas by learning-director-section-C-Shneur-Munitz. A festive seudah followed the siyum! Huge mazel tov to Shneur and the entire section C.

Following the siyum, all sections of camp gathered in the shul for a fabulous in house entertainment. The talent magician entertained us with stunts we have never seen before. He had the entire crowd involved in his show; and had everyone asking for more when it was all over. Several bunks enjoyed special late nights last night, including our very own bubble-soccer game, being enjoyed every night here in camp.
