Welcome to 2025-5785

Camp is back in full swing! Day 1 was a huge success, with campers and staff diving right back into the fun. Buses arrived from NY, Toronto, Montreal, and the airport, and everyone settled in quickly. Bunks were assigned, friends were reunited, and activities kicked off, including learning classes and sports.

This morning, campers rose bright and early, adjusting to the new time zone (we set clocks back by an hour -better known as “camp time” to accommodate late Shabbat times etc.). Section C is already off on their first trip of the season – stay tuned for details!

Reminder: Online canteen credit card deposits will begin on Friday, July 4. Campers will be notified about any deposits made.

Coming to an end – Online tipping, canteen and transportation changes closed! Thanks!!
