“In House E” & Best in learning classes week #3

The clouds parted and sky cleared just in time for activities yesterday. Campers had an amazing day of sports leagues  and water activities. Following an early dinner, everyone headed to the shul for an awesome show by a very talented Ventriloquist! Everyone headed back to their bunks, still trying to figure out just how he did it! It was enjoyed by campers and staff of all ages!

After the great entertainment, Section C campers were rewarded for their hard work in Hatomim with a spectacular evening – a special “wrap night”. The atmosphere was great and the food delicious! Thanks to the hardworking staff for making the event possible.

Below please find the list of campers that excelled in learning classes for the third week of camp. Lots of Nachas!

Great Shabbos & Easy Fast

After an amazing Shabbos including a special Mishnayos Bal Peh war, staff and section C were treated to a special Melave Malka in preparation for the fast. In addition to the great food the atmosphere was great!

During the fast a grand staff baseball game took place in our baseball field with the campers cheering them on. We ended the fast with a delicious dinner of vegetable soup, Lazagna, salad, corn, fresh rolls and of course fresh homemade cake. The younger campers were fed earlier in the evening and were entertained in the shul while the fasting campers and staff enjoyed their delicious supper.

As soon as the energy was back in full swing, campers and staff headed to the basketball court for an intense  all-start game played by campers in sections B and B+ (grades 5 and 6). The audience cheered and players performed. It was hard to remember their age as they impressed the crowd with their amazing sports abilities.  In the meantime there were small games happening around camp including of course our new bubble soccer! Never a dull moment!

Early this morning our winners of Shabbos competition, bunks Ches and Yud-Tes were on the road, to Go-Karting. Congratulations to all the campers in the two bunks for a great Shabbos!

Boating Hike Day & Section C Trip

Yesterday, in honor of hike day, campers of grade 6 alternated between boating and being taken by a larger boat to our local town of Lac-Dessert.  The campers enjoyed the town and the Mini Golf.  Water bottles were distributed as campers enjoyed their time out of camp. The staff were sure to make every moment memorable! The rest of camp enjoyed a great day of sports here in camp. Sports seems to be a great highlight here as they play hard to keep up with the leagues and have a great time.

Section C were headed out for an amazing trip. The division was divided between rope-course and paint-ball-shooting as they did last week. This gives every camper a chance to enjoy both trips  – without the delays of waiting on lines. They returned to camp last night in time for a delayed dinner. A great time was enjoyed by all bh.

Matissyahu Gershovitz celebrated his bar mitzvah here in camp yesterday. Mazel Tov to the entire family, lots of Nachas!

This morning bunks Zayin, Yud Alef, and Yud Daled were rewarded for winning Shabbos competition last shabbos. They were all taken on a trip Go-Karting for some great fun!

We look forward to another  amazing Shabbos in Camp IYH, and will be happy to share our winners once again.

Have a good Shabbos.

Overnights & Section C Special “C-Shore” Barbecue

The dining  room roared with excitement during an early lunch, as campers were given the great news, OVERNIGHTS! Campers hurried to their bunks to pack and prepare for this exciting event. The weather could not have been better BH, as campers spread out their sleeping bags, set up their tents and enjoyed a delicious barbecue supper and beautiful camp fire. The singing went into the night as roasted marshmallows were distributed. Early this morning, the entire camp headed to the water park to enjoy the slides and pools. Campers then headed back to camp and grade 6 continued their outing to enjoy some bowling. The fun doesn’t seem to end.

In the meantime, section C took advantage of our empty camp grounds and enjoyed an amazing  C shore farbrengen! The staff outdid themselves with the props and great menu prepared.  The entire section was treated to a very special menu and incredible program prepared by their very own staff.

Amazing Visiting Day BH

Thanks to all the families that made the long trip up to camp yesterday. Worth the trip! The weather could not have been better, as families enjoyed their time on the beautiful CGI grounds. Our guests enjoyed the inflatable activities brought to camp in their honor, and of course the canteen, the playground; and just being together with their campers in camp. Campers without visitors were given a special schedule, including swimming in the pool and boating on our magnificent lake.

As parents left, campers hurried off to learning classes followed by mincha and a delicious dinner of burgers and fries. Grade 6 was treated to a special evening out; including a deluxe barbecue dinner in the baseball field and special sports.

Last night a few bunks were given a late night of jumping and sliding on the inflatable games while others enjoyed bubble soccer. CGI is happy to welcome this new activity to our grounds. Our new bubble-soccer game has proven to be a tremendous hit with campers of all ages bh.

In the meantime over 110 section C Hatamim participants were rewarded with a special sushi night. Section C Campers were seen rolling and enjoying their very own sushi rolls. Most enjoyed!

Staff night out!

Yesterday, the sky cleared just when we were ready to get on the playing fields. After a few small rain showers, the sun came out just in time for our campers to enjoy an amazing afternoon of great sports and water activities.

Our hardworking, devoted staff were treated to an evening out, while the head staff did a great job at replacing them all here in camp. After a delicious dinner at Pizza Pita they headed to the private spa for some well deserved relaxation. They returned to camp energized and ready to continue giving our campers all they got.

We look forward to greeting our family and friends here in camp on this upcoming Sunday for visiting day.  Details have been sent by email.

Have a great shabbos!
